HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BELT SIZE

Measuring an existing belt

Measuring a well-fitting belt you already own is the best way to determine your belt size.

  • Take your existing belt and lay it on a flat surface

  • Using a measuring tape or long ruler, measure from the leather fold (not including buckle) to the hole most used

  • Either use centimetres or inches

How to Measure Your Body

To measure your body for optimal belt size, start by threading the tape measure through the belt loops of your trousers. It’s important to stand in a relaxed, natural position–do not push out your belly or suck it in–when taking the measurement. The measuring tape should be snug. Measure in cm or inches and round to the nearest cm/inch. Choose the belt size closest to this measurement

How to take a measurement from your trouser/waist size

An easy – but less accurate – way to determine belt size is to simply add 2 inches to your ‘off-the-rack’ trouser size. For example, if you wear a 36” waist trouser, then a 38” belt size will be a safe bet. Most will find this simple formula works best for trousers worn at a traditional height–close to the natural waistline. For a belt to wear with low rise trousers or jeans, consider adding 3” to your trouser size.

– If your trouser size = 32, choose belt size = 34

– If your trouser size = 34, choose belt size = 36

– If your trouser size = 36, choose belt size = 38

– If your trouser size = 38, choose belt size = 40

HOW TO MEASURE FOR A DOG COLLAR

  • Dog collars are best measured from the internal length of the existing collar 

  • Remove your dog’s collar and lay it on a flat table

  • Using a flexible tape measure, measure from the leather fold (not including buckle) to the hole most used.

  • Then check this measurement by measuring around your dog’s neck where the collar is worn and at the same looseness as the collar

  • Make sure to put two fingers inside the measuring tape as collars are not supposed to be worn too tight on a dog

  • If you do not have a collar to measure from then measure around your dogs neck where the collar will sit and at the looseness you require.

  • Make sure to fit two fingers under the tape measure 

  • The measurement given will be the centre hole with 2 holes either side for adjustment
