Belt Sizing Help
To help you with sizing, I’ve listed the different ways you can select the size you need. It’s super easy to do and please email me alison@hadstonleather.co.uk if you have any questions.
Two Main Ways:
Custom Size - Measuring yourself or an existing belt
Sizing Charts - Choosing a set size
A) CUSTOM SIZE - HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT FROM AN EXISTING BELT
Measure from the main hole used on the belt to the top inside edge of the buckle, see diagram. If the belt has curved, stand the tape measure on its side and measure the same distance, this will give a more accurate measurement.
Example of how the belt will be made: If the existing belt measurement (dominant hole to top inside edge of the buckle) is 95cm. The belt will be made 95 cm from the middle hole to the top inside edge of the buckle.
B) CUSTOM SIZE - HOW TO MEASURE YOUR SIZE OVER CLOTHES
Wrap a tape measure over your clothes where you want to wear the belt and take the measurement where the tape measure meets. Remember to slot the tape measure through the belt loops if the belt is to be worn with jeans or trousers.
Alternatively you can wrap a piece of string in a similar way and then take that measurement.
You must take this over clothes because if the measurement is taken directly against the body the belt will come up short. The measurement is also where you will want to wear your belt, this doesn't necessarily mean your natural waistline.
Example of how the belt will be made: If you take a measurement of 100 cm, the belt will be made 100 cm from the middle hole to 2/3 down the buckle prong, see diagram.
SIZING CHARTS
The most accurate way to get the correct size for a belt is to measure an existing one or over clothes. If you do select a size from below, as a rule a belt is normally two inches above a mens waist measurement. I’ve created a set of sizes where the middle hole will be two inches bigger. These are based on 5 holes, let me know if you need more.
