Tayylor Report post Posted May 30, 2016 Hi there, So, I have been reading about belt sizing...Some say to measure from the fold, some say to measure to the inside end of the buckle, the end of the belt buckle, the tongue of the buckle. I will not be doing custom orders, I will have different sizes on hand for purchase. What is the tried and true method? Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) The only time you would measure from the fold is if they are replacing their belt and using teh same (or a very similar) buckle. The buckle HAS TO be part of the size. Here's why ... Three belts, all teh same length "to the fold". Changing the buckle changes the size BY THE LENGTH OF THE (inside of the) BUCKLE. In fact, when I make belts for kids, I use a buckle no more than 1" long. That way, when the little boogers grow, you can just swap out a longer buckle. Changing to a 2" long buckle adds 1" to the SAME belt, and lets the little goobers wear them a bit longer instead of outgrowing them SO fast.
