Belt Sizing Guide
How to Find Your Perfect Belt Size
Getting the right belt size is easy once you know what to measure. Follow the steps below and use our size chart to find your fit.
Step 1: Measure Your Waist (Where You Wear Your Belt)
- Wrap a soft measuring tape around your body at the point where you wear your pants — not your natural waist.
- Keep the tape snug but not tight. You should be able to slip one finger underneath.
- Note the measurement in inches. This is your pant waist size.
No measuring tape? Use a piece of string, then measure the string against a ruler.
Step 2: Measure an Existing Belt (Optional)
If you already have a belt that fits well, measure it for a quick reference:
- Lay the belt flat on a table.
- Measure from the buckle pin hole (the one you use most) to the end of the leather where it meets the buckle.
- This measurement is your belt size.
Waist-to-Belt Size Chart
Our belts are sized 2 inches larger than your pant waist — this accounts for the extra length needed to thread through belt loops and buckle comfortably.
| Pant Waist Size | Recommended Belt Size |
|---|---|
| 28" | 30" |
| 30" | 32" |
| 32" | 34" |
| 34" | 36" |
| 36" | 38" |
| 38" | 40" |
| 40" | 42" |
| 42" | 44" |
| 44" | 46" |
| 46" | 48" |
| 48" | 50" |
Example: If your pant waist is 34", order a 36" belt.
Choosing the Right Belt Width
Belt width should match your belt loops and the occasion. Here's a quick guide:
| Belt Width | Best For | Loop Size |
|---|---|---|
| 1 1/4" | Dress pants, chinos, slim-fit jeans | Narrow loops (1.25"–1.5") |
| 1 1/2" | Everyday jeans, casual pants — the most versatile width | Standard loops (1.5"–1.75") |
| 1 3/4" | Heavy denim, work pants, western or rugged styles | Wide loops (1.75"+) |
Tip: When in doubt, check the width of your current belt loops before ordering. A belt that's too wide won't thread through properly.
