THE BEST METHOD TO MEASURE YOUR "BELT SIZE" :
When ordering a belt on-line, the best way to assure the proper fit is to measure one of your existing belts that fits you well. To do this, carefully stretch out the belt on a flat surface, and using a measuring tape, measure from:
A) where the buckle attaches to the belt,
to:
B) the hole on the belt that fits you best (this will be the loosest, or most stretched out hole).
If you anticipate a change in your waist size (we all trend larger), you can add or subtract one inch from this measurement. Your new belt should be based upon this measurement.
On your new belt, that same dimension will be the measurement from where the buckle attaches to the center hole of the new belt.
From this center hole most belts have two punched holes longer (at one inch increments) and two punched holes shorter (at one inch increments); this arrangement gives you the widest relevant range in adjusting your belt.
