How should I measure a belt?

A belt you buy from me is measured as above - from the end without the buckle to the middle hole of five.

Remember! You never measure with the buckle, because buckles have different length measurements.

If you already have a belt and want to tell me what size you want - you specify the cm measurement from the end (buckle side) to the hole you use the most.

If you are still unsure, measure cm around your waist in the usual way, or on the hip depending on the type of pants you will use the belt for. Women often choose to measure at the waist. Many of my belts are marked with inches or are full length 44 inches which I cut and adjust for you.

Many have the belt too long - from the hole chosen above I choose about 14 cm out to the tip. The belt has five holes when you buy it - it is measured to the middle hole so that you have some leeway both ways. Otherwise, the European standard is 35 mm width on dress belts and 38 mm on jeans belts. Americans choose 30 mm and 38 mm.
