Waist To Belt Size

[Geneva]

My method will work. The reason for the 1 1/4" bag punch is that the radius of the buckle tongue is that long. One inch is to small unless you use those cheezy stamped sheet metal buckles I have been using this method for ten years. Good luck

I believe Pounder knows how to make a belt...his question is about how to make the best guess at the size when only the customer's pant size is known.

If you know the customers pant size there is no guessing as to the size of the belt.

I haven't known that to be the case.....you line up 6 guys who wear 34 pants, they are very likely to have different belt sizes...ranging from 36 to 39. We're all built differently and most times that comes in to play.

One guy who wears 34 pants will have 6-pack abs, another, love handles and a beer belly......those two belts will not be the same size.

I would have to disagree...because I have never seen two manufacturers who size their pants the same. I have 34" pants that are tight and 34" pants that are quite loose. Kinda like shoes...gotta try them on to make sure that Brand X size 10's are the same as Brand Y's.

As I stated above, I wear a 34" pant and a 40" belt, so +4" from my pant size would put me on the last hole of a 5 hole belt.

You are absolutely right.

I am just pleased to have direction from someone so confident in their style of sizing, cannot wait to put it to use. I am positive my belt orders will increase exponentially.
