Belt Sizing Popup

Find Your Fit!

Belt sizing is tricky - do NOT order your pants/jeans size.
  • Quick Tricks: Women: Add four numbers to your usual jeans size (i.e. 28 to 32). Men: Add two numbers to your usual pants size (i.e. 30 to 32).
  • If you land on an odd number, we recommend rounding up.
  • If you prefer to wear belts high or snug; lean towards a smaller size. If you usually wear belts low or loose, lean towards a larger size.

Other Ways to Measure

Measure pants on your body
  • Put on a favorite pair of jeans.
  • Thread a soft tape measure or string through the belt loops to your closure (like a belt) and measure in inches. If you get an odd number, round up. If you get an even number, use that size.
  • Keep in mind: Pants at your waist measure differently than hips - mirror where you want your new belt to sit.

Suggestions from our team

Betsy (woman - smaller waist, larger hips): “I wear a 26-28 in jeans and a 4/6 pants. I mostly wear a 32 belt, but have a 34 as well for my looser, low-rise jeans. They both fit, the only difference is which hole I use. I also have one size 30 for fancier dresses and wear my tie belt (style 019) with casual dresses all the time…and I always get compliments.”

Claire (woman): “I have ‘no waist’. I usually wear a size 8-10 in women’s pants (or stretchy jeans). And I always buy a 34 in the belts.”

Penelope (woman): “I’m usually a size 8 or 10 in pants, and I’m tall. I’d say my waist is normal proportion to my body, and I find the size 36 fits me perfectly.” 

Gerry (man): I’m usually a size 32 or 33 pants. I wear a size 36 belt, as I like having enough “tail” when I fasten it. 

Alan (man): “I’ve quickly gone from a casual belt wearer to someone who wears my Old Stud belts every single day. I’m usually a 32 in pants and my belt are size 34. The size is perfect.”

Callie (woman): “I’m usually a 10 or 12 in women’s pants, but I’m more of a square shape. The 36 belt fit me perfectly and allowed me to use different holes for different pants. I also like to wrap the long tie belt - Style 020 - through my jeans or over a coat."

Jay (man): “I’m usually a size 32 in jeans, but I like wearing my pants low and my belts big, so I mostly wear size 36 belts.”
