Belt sizes

A belt size is the length from the buckle to the middle hole: in cm in Europe, in inches in the UK and US. It follows the waist, measured over your trousers.

Belts

Belts have several holes, so the neighbouring sizes usually fit too. W is the trouser size that goes with the belt: in the UK and US, the belt size is the trouser size plus 2 inches.

How to measure

Waist
Around the waist over your trousers, through the belt loops.

Convert centimeter to inch

The measurements are a guide: every brand cuts a little differently, and where a brand publishes its own size chart, that is the one to follow.
