Custom Size Price Information

We here at Harness Depot work very hard to cater to custom order items, especially for larger sizes. However, all larger size items other than what we offer on our drop down menu is a custom order and will be treated at such. Larger sizes do take more material and labor to make.

On our drop down menu, we offer a special order price. This special price is for only 1 size area (chest or waist or groin) of this item. This 1 special size area is limited to an additional 1" in size only. If you need more than an additional 1" in this one size area or you need more than one size area (chest and/or waist and/or groin) made to a larger size, we will handle the item as a total custom order and you need to contact Harness Depot directly with your measurements. We will then give you an exact price for the item you want to own.

Please remember that larger sizes are a custom order and will be treated as such. Any and all custom/customized orders are NOT returnable under any circumstance except for defects. However, we will alter items that can be altered for a nominal fee as to be determined by the actual leather manufacturer. This will be handled on a case by case basis. Before shipping items to you all our merchandise is triple inspected for quality and sizing, therefore there is very few defective items. However, any merchandise found to be defective will be inspected and replaced solely at the discretion of the manufacturer.

How To Measure For Sizing Information For All Leather Products

We cannot stress enough how important it is to correctly measure to ensure a correct fit of your hand-made leather products. If you have ever tried on "off the rack clothing” they never tend to fit correctly. Even if you feel you know what size you wear, you still need to be measured to ensure that you are going to get the correct size and fit of your new semi-custom clothing. Do not go by your jean size for your waist. We take the time to make the clothing correctly, therefore you need to take the time to measure correctly. We make all our leather and chainmail products in 1" incurments. Therefore, that is exactly how you need to order the size. Example, do not give us a size range of say 40" - 42". You give us the exact size of 40", 41" or 42". We take the time to make your size accurate, so you should take the time to measure it accurately. Please use either a tape measure (NON-METAL) or a string and a ruler for the measuring process. It also helps if you have a friend to help. Your measurements will be more accurate if some one else measures you while you are standing up straight. See photo and hints on matching the measurement requirements.

You can purchase a quality tape measure in the fabric department at any Wal-mart, K-mart, local drug store like Wal-greens, CVS Pharmacy for about or less than a buck. Or go to your local dry cleaners and they will many times measure you for free.
