Frequently Asked Questions

Our custom Made-in-Japan belt takes 40 business days (about 8 weeks) to prepare and then ship. The whole process is handmade and we have a high volume of orders. This deadline ensures our craftsmen have sufficient time to create your personalized belt with the attention to detail it deserves. Thanks for your understanding.

Priority Handling can be added directly on each belt product page. This special service cuts production time from 8 weeks to roughly 10 work days. This is our rush service, handled directly by our team in Japan. Once capacity fills, we’ll pause rushed production again.

We offer multiple belt sizes for men, women and kids. Plus we also give you the option of ordering a belt in your desired custom length.

We carefully make each belt true to size but please allow a 2cm discrepancy/margin of error.

We embroider degrees / stripes directly on the belt or rank bar.

The standard size stripes / degrees are about 0.7cm wide.

The spacing in between stripes is about 0.25cm.

For new logos, we usually need 10 work days to digitize the file you provide and create an embroidery mold.

If you’ve previously ordered a belt with a custom logo embroidery, you can reorder the same logo for future belts without recreating it—provided the logo file is still on record. Read More.

Because these belts are made to order and unique, they cannot be returned or exchanged. So please make sure to double check all the details before completing your order. Once we start working on the belt, no changes will be accepted. All sales are final.

Sorry, no.

The label is proof of origin and we're very proud of every belt we make. 

ChokeSports orders are shipped from Japan with duties and taxes unpaid. If applicable, you will need to pay these fees when your order is delivered. Read More.
