Yep, what Seth said. Just order the right waist size and then trim them to length. I'vetrimmed themwith a metal ruler for a straight edge and a utility knife. That way you get a nice straight cut along the bottom...

Cut em long. I like mine around the heels of my boots as extra protection from buring em on the pipes. The leather wont burn.
