How do I measure a leather belt?


 

Slik måler du beltet ditt

A leather belt you buy from me is measured as above - from the end without the buckle to the middle hole of five.
Remember! You should never measure with a 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 (the fastening side) to the hole you use most.

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

Many have the belt too long - from the hole selected 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. By the way, the European standard is 35 mm width for dress belts and 38 mm for jeans belts. Americans choose 30 mm and 38 mm.
