There are two methods to determine belt size.

Method 1

The most widely used method is to choose a belt that is 1-2" larger than your pants size, or as some say: ONE SIZE UP.  Example, if you wear a size 36 pants, you would choose a size 38 belt.  Being we do not offer odd size belts (35, 37, 39, etc), you will choose a belt that is two inches larger.   Size 34 waist choose a 36 size belt, 36 waist choose a size 38 belt, 38 waist choose a size 40 belt, etc.

If you wear an odd size pants, say a size 35, and sticking with the 1-2" rule, you would choose a size 36 belt.  If you wear a 33 pants, order a size 34 belt, a 35 pants order a 36 belt, 37 pants order a 38 belt, etc.

Method 2

Measure a belt you currently wear. Measure from where the leather attaches to the buckle (or wraps around the buckle) to the hole you are currently using. DO NOT INCLUDE THE BUCKLE IN THIS MEASUREMENT.  If this measurement is 42 inches, order a size 42 belt. As above in Method 1, if this measurement is an odd size, then order the next even size up. 

Our belts are sized to the center hole. If you order a size 36, it will be 36" to the third/center hole from the beginning of the leather (where it connects to the buckle). Fitting a belt to the center hole is important as it gives you the most flexibility with your belt.  It would give you two holes to either side of center (to gain or lose weight) :-).

IMPORTANT: Do not measure the belt from end to end, total length of the belt has no relevance to size.
