From economical single-ply casual or dress belts to higher end hand-tooled betls, all belts are made with full-grain leather, custom sized for the perfect fit, and while they will mold to your body shape, they should not stretch for many years.
Measuring for a new belt can be confusing. When measuring, simply measure the strap only. The measurement is from where the buckle attaches to the strap (called "the fold" -- measure from the center of the buckle slot) to the hole you currently use. Please follow our steps to make sure you order the size that's perfect for you.
Dress and casual belts are often a single-ply belt. Our casual belts measure 1-1/2 inches wide (1.5" wide) and dress belts measure 1-1/4 inches (1.25"). The only difference is the width of the belt. Men's dress pants, hiking shorts, and some women's pants may only accommodate a 1-1/4" belt while jeans will usually take a belt up to 1-1/2" wide.
Everyday and Work Belts are meant to be worn whether sitting in a movie theater, out to dinner or a formal occasion, or working in the yard. These belts are usually two-ply making them thicker than a casual belt and, due to the thickness, may take a week to mold to your body. Whether tooled or plain, these belts will hold up to the stress your life puts on them.
