In the last few months I've had great success improving my power-to-weight ratio, but now I have a problem. I have reached the last hole in my belts, and the are already size small belts. Do I invest in a leather punch and live with more extra belt flopping around, or do I start buying belts made for children?

It's easy, just quit wearing pants.

I think if you, a grown man, need to use children's belts, that is a sign of a problem.

I have a leather belt that has been stretching since the day I got it. I just keep punching new holes and cutting off the excess slack.

Is there a special store for thin people then? I've never really been thin before.

Instructions unclear; got bigger in places other than waistline. Please send clarification.

Whatever you do, get a reversible belt, so you can do both casual and formal car meets.

How tiny are you? I have a 29'' waist (up lately from 27'' and can find belts that fit fine

Where do you find these belts

Men's Wearhouse for fancy belts, western wear stores for otherwise. My belts are advertised as 32s, though I think I have a 30 somewhere, and they all fit well without modification.

Cowboys are skinny. Only place I've been able to find 28x30 or even 30x30 pants any more

Try an army surplus store, and pick up one of those belts that fit at any location. They are usually black with a silver or gold buckle, and use a small sliding pin to cinch the belt at any point.
