Additional notes:
– Wear the type of trousers you intend to wear with the belt, as the thickness of the trouser material can affect your hip size.
– If you don’t have a flexible measuring tape at hand, thread a cord, cable or ribbon through the belt loops, mark the point where it goes exactly once around your hips, and measure the distance with a regular tape measure.
– The pin should ideally fit through the middle hole, so that there is neither too much nor too little belt. The length from the middle hole to the tip of the belt is 15 cm (total belt length = belt size + 15 cm; example: belt size 95 = total belt length 110).

Alternative measuring methods

Use your current belt
1) Take one of your current belts (even if it does not fit perfectly).
2) Measure the distance from the inner end of the buckle to the hole or the point (braided belts have no holes) that fits you most comfortably. This is usually the point that shows the most signs of wear. This is your hip size.
3) Check which hip-size interval your hip size fits into best and choose the corresponding belt size.

Use your jeans size
1) Add 3 inches to your current jeans size to determine your belt size.
2) Check our size table to see which size fits you best.
Example: 32 in jeans size + 3 in = 35 in hip circumference → 90/36 belt size

Additional notes:
– This is the fastest and most convenient, but also the least accurate method.
– This method works best in inches and only for men.

Why are there 5 belt holes?
The number of holes (usually 5 holes spaced 2.5 cm apart) gives your body room for small changes and makes it possible to wear the belt at different waist or hip heights (jeans are usually worn lower than suit trousers). In addition, your hip size can vary depending on the material thickness of your trousers and on whether or not you tuck in your shirt.
