Members tatehunt Posted September 29, 2011 Members Report Posted September 29, 2011 Belts are easy to measure. There are a couple of good methods and the folks who have advised not to trust the customers measurements are correct. I use a belt I made for measuring. Quite simply, make a belt with a lot of holes punched at 3/4" centers and and mark the holes. Now all you have to do is have your customer PUT HIS BUCKLE ON THE BELT, put it on and record the hole he uses. Also discuss the length of tail he wants and use the hole numbers to record that measurement also. In otherwords record the hole number where they want the tip to end. Now you have a correct waist measurement and tail length. No guesswork involved! The next best method is to measure the old belt. My belts typically have a 2-3/4" fold which is skived thin and I punch 5 holes at 3/4" centers. Hope this helps.... Bobby As always, Bob nails it with an ingenious and simple solution! Quote
