How to measure a belt correctly

How to measure a belt

Learn how to measure a leather belt so you order the correct size the first time around! Belts come in all different sizes, and some places differ from the industry standard making it hard for customers to get the proper measurement. But there is an industry standard that all serious workshops use. To find your belt measurement for one of our leather belts, you need to measure from the tip of the buckle to the hole you use on a daily basis and write down that number in inches. Next, take the number you measured and round up to the nearest even number. This will give you your belt size.

What if I have my own buckle?

Buckles come in all shapes and sizes. That means that if you’re planning on using a different buckle once you get your belt, you should make sure to still measure from the tip of the buckle you use every day to the hole you use. If the new buckle tip is an inch longer than your current buckle, you need to factor that in by finding the difference in buckle lengths. The measurements we put on each belt is from the tip of the buckle to the middle hole. If in doubt, round up.
