Avoid the inconvenience of returns by using our belt sizing guide (shown at top as a secondary image). The guide demonstrates the best way to determine an accurate size is to measure an existing belt from the buckle fold to the hole used most often. This measurement will be your belt size. Our leather belts will have two holes smaller and three holes larger than your belt size, so minor size changes will be no problem for you! A quicker sizing tip, which may not be quite as accurate, is to add two inches to your pants size to get your belt size.
