Belt Sizing

BELT SIZING

Getting the right belt size is key to ensuring a proper, secure fit and long-lasting comfort. Follow our simple guide below to find your ideal size before ordering.

Method 1: Measure an Existing Belt (Most Accurate)

This is the most reliable way to get a perfect fit. Measure a belt you currently wear daily:

  1. Lay your current belt completely flat on a hard surface.
  2. Identify the hole you use most often (usually the one showing the most wear).
  3. Measure from that specific hole to the very end of the leather where it folds around the buckle.
  4. Crucial: Do not include the buckle itself in your measurement. Start measuring strictly from the leather fold.
Your Size: The exact length in inches is your belt size. For example, if this measurement is 36 inches, you should order a Size 36 belt.

Method 2: The Pants Size Formula (Quick Guide)

If you don't have a current belt to measure, you can easily estimate your size using your standard pants waist size:

Your Pants Size + 2 Inches = Your Belt Size
  • Example: If you wear a size 34 in athletic pants, jeans, or slacks, you should order a Size 36 belt.
  • Note: Belt sizing is not the same as the total end-to-end length of the leather strap. Our belts are sized to fit comfortably from the buckle fold to the center hole, giving you room to tighten or loosen as needed.

Craftsmanship & Fit Tips

Our handmade leather belts are built to standard sizing specifications to give you the most reliable fit possible:

  • True-to-Size Fit: Our belts feature five adjustment holes spaced exactly 1" apart.
  • The Target Fit: Ordering your correct size will place the buckle tongue directly in the middle (3rd) hole, giving you two inches of adjustment to tighten or loosen as your needs shift.
  • For Double-Prong Styles: When fastening a dual-prong belt, ensure both buckle tongues sit evenly in their corresponding parallel holes to distribute tension perfectly across the strap.
