I've seen several people trying to incorporate a different lineman's belt to their saddle and decided to share how I made this possible for myself. This is particularly relevant to all Trophyline users that have the saddle with the belt that is already built into the saddle. I cut off each side to equal lengths and then had the little quick stops sewn back to each end. I then put the original buckle back on one side and the took the buckle from a separate Trophyline belt and and put it on the other side. And as we know when tension is applied, the buckle cinches to the strap and will not move. Very safe and effective. Now you can use any linemans belt you want. Hope this helps.
