Sizing your belt

When ordering a handmade leather belt, it is important to get the size right. All of my belts are cut to length when ordered, including ready to ship stock.

How to measure an existing belt

The best way to find your belt size is with a well fitting belt you already have:

  1. Lay your existing belt on a flat surface
  2. Using a tape measure or rule, measure from the most used hole to the end of the buckle (where the hole sits on the buckle when being worn)


How to Measure your body

If you don't have your old belt to hand then you can measure your body. To do this put on a pair of trousers that you would wear your belt with, make sure you are standing naturally without tensing or holding your breath and pass a fabric tape measure through the belt loops, this is the belt length you will need.

If you don't have a fabric tape measure use a piece of string or rope and then lay it flat to measure.




How to take a measurement from your trouser/waist size

Your belt size can be derived from your clothing label size, a general rule is to add 2 inches to your trouser waist size. For example if you normally wear a 32 inch trouser you would need to order a 34 inch belt.

This is the last option and is less accurate than the earlier methods, many clothing manufacturers are not true to size and so can potentially be miss-leading.
