How Do You Determine What Size To Stamp On A Belt

[Kcinnick]

I am just curious, I have seen it done both ways.

Do you stamp the length of leather from the fold to the center hole.

Or to you stamp the size from the end of the buckle to the center hole?

Thanks,

I've always done tip of buckle tongue to center hole. Just my way.

Same as Art, If you just measure the leather, the buckle can add 1 to 3 inches, I've even seen some 5 or 6 in. long buckles lately from south of the border. If you measured just the leather they would be huge, now I'm typing this I remember that's why I had them, to be shortened.

All that said, There is a high dollar custom tailor next to us and his belts are all measured from the fold.

I have belts both ways. I see a case for both ways, I thing I'll go with total length.
