Which Belt Size?
How to Choose the Right Leather Belt Size
Selecting the right size for a leather belt is closely related to your pant size, but belt measurements are calculated differently from pant sizes. Belt sizes are typically based on the circumference of your waist, measured from the buckle to the middle hole, rather than the total length of the belt.
To find the correct belt size, you first need to know your pant size. Refer to the chart below to easily determine the belt size that corresponds to your pant size.
Belt Size Chart
Belt Size (inches) | Pant Sizes | Waist Circumference (inches) |
---|---|---|
43" | 28-30 | 35-39 |
45" | 32-34 | 37-41 |
47" | 36-38 | 39-43 |
49" | 40-42 | 41-45 |
How to Measure for the Right Size
- Know Your Pant Size: Your pant size is the starting point for choosing the right belt. For example, if you wear size 32 pants, a 45-inch belt is typically the best choice.
- Measure Your Waist Circumference: For a more precise fit, measure your waist with a tape measure and refer to the chart above.
Choosing the right belt size ensures both comfort and a visually appealing fit.
