How to measure your belt size: Take a belt you wear comfortably and measure from the leather end of the buckle ( do not include the buckle in the measurement) to the hole you buckle at. This is the size to order. If this measurement is 35.5” we will make your belt to measure 35.5” from the leather end of the buckle to the middle of 5 holes, allowing your waistline to expand a little or contract a little. These holes are normally approx.1” apart.
