Should I get a new belt?

Just tell him you want a smaller size belt instead of wasting money.

once you get your promotion and hopefully get the new size otherwise you can easily go buy a smaller one.

I am currently a Shodan (1st Dan) Black Belt and i have 2 belts - one is my primary belt which i use for training and the other one i use for more formal situations when the need arises for it (but otherwise i keep in a case at home showing the belt off)
