A trouser label is a useful starting point, but brand sizing and where you wear the waistband affect the result. A measurement of a comfortable existing belt is more useful for a made-to-order piece.
Estimate or enter a measurement
Discuss a belt for your measurement
Share your measured buckle-to-hole length. The workshop can confirm design, material, availability and price before an order.
Workshop Sizing Reference Chart
This example uses 5 punch holes spaced 2.5 cm (1.0 in) apart. The highlighted row shows the rounded centre-hole length. Confirm hole spacing and buckle type for your order.
| Belt Size (cm) | Belt Size (in) | Approx. Trouser Size | Example Hole Range |
|---|
The trouser estimate uses a simple allowance and an optional waistband-position adjustment. It is a guide, not a universal conversion. The displayed length rounds upward to the next even centimetre. Confirm the final length before cutting.
Measure a belt that fits
Lay the belt flat without stretching it. Identify the hole you actually use. Send the workshop the length to that hole and a photograph showing exactly where you started at the buckle. Different buckle types and makers use different reference points.
Measure to the hole you use
The arrow starts at the example buckle reference and ends at the middle hole. The other holes illustrate adjustment around that working length; their spacing must be confirmed for the actual belt.
If using this tool, measure from the buckle fold to the working hole. Do not include the decorative tail. The workshop must confirm how that reference relates to the selected buckle.
Read the adjustment range
The example assumes five holes spaced 2.5 cm (1.0 in) apart. Two holes on each side of the centre provide 5 cm (2.0 in) of adjustment in either direction. This is a belt-hole range, not a guaranteed trouser-waist range. Confirm the actual hole pattern for your order.
