How to Measure Your Belt Size
Video Guide

To ensure the best fit when purchasing a belt online, accurate measurements are crucial. Your belt size differs from your pants or waist size.

Determining your BELT SIZE involves selecting the size for length when placing your order. The BELT LENGTH from end to end is not used for measurement purposes due to the buckle's width and additional inches of leather.

Typically, a belt should measure 10cm/4 inches for standard belts with five holes and 12.5cm/5 inches for belts with three holes (Hermès standard). When in the widest belt hole, it should tuck under your first belt loop.

There are different methods to measure your belt size based on your wearing habits and belt/buckle types.

OPTION 1 - using your EXISTING BELT
ON BELT STRAPS with STITCHED/CLASSIC BUCKLES

Using a belt you own, note the hole that fits you comfortably:
Carefully stretch out the belt on a flat surface and, depending on the buckle type you have, tape measure from either the prong or the inside of the buckle where the buckle tongue ends ( A ), to whichever hole is currently being used ( B ) as shown below.

Basically, the measurement you need to provide us with will be the sum of two dimensions: the “BELT SIZE” (the length from the fold in the leather belt to the main hole you will use) PLUS the “BUCKLE LENGTH” (the length from the fold in the leather belt to the hook in the buckle).

OPTION 1 - using your EXISTING BELT
ON BELT STRAPS with DETACHABLE BUCKLES

Using a belt you own, note the hole that fits you comfortably:
Just remove the buckle and tape measure the distance between the buckle hole ( A ) where the prong goes, all the way to your favorite hole ( B ).

OPTION 2 - withOUT BELTS

Making Sure you are NOT wearing a belt while doing this, put a measuring tape through your pant/skirt loops and wrap it around your waist. Because you don’t want your new belt to interfere with your breath, inhale deeply and then measure your girth.

This measures your bodily circumference. This is the measurement you need to provide when ordering your new belt.

OPTION 3 - withOUT BELTS

Tape measure your waistline according to where you intend to wear the belt ( waist, hips or somewhere in between ):

MID / REGULAR WAIST: around your natural waistline
LOW WAIST: around 2-3 inches below your natural waistline
HIGH WAIST: around 2-3 inches above your natural waistline

For more accurate sizing, we strongly suggest you to take your measurements WITHOUT wearing garments and eventually add one or two inches. The size to use for length when placing your belt order will equal your bodily circumference PLUS the girth of your underwear, shirts, pants or skirt.

OPTION 4 - withOUT BELTS for MEN ONLY !
(for MEN ONLY!! – LADIES: please disregard this section and follow directions on Option 2 or 3)

Based on your pants size, pick your belts one or two sizes larger to get a good fit: if you wear a 36” trouser waist, a belt labeled 38"-40” will probably be in the right neighborhood.
Remember, the 38”-40" will be the measurement from where the buckle connects to the belt to the hole currently being used. This works some of the times, but it is not the most accurate way.

Hippopotamus Leather

Hippopotamus leather, often referred to as hippo leather, is a distinctive and sought-after material used in crafting high-end belts and luxurious accessories. Known for its exceptional durability and unique texture, hippo leather stands out due to its inherent toughness and resistance to wear.

The surface of hippopotamus leather features a natural matte finish with a rugged appearance, characterized by its irregular grain pattern. The leather is thick, yet supple, providing a remarkable combination of strength and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for durable accessories like belts, wallets, bags, and shoes.

What sets hippopotamus leather apart is its distinctiveness – each piece carries its own individual markings and grain patterns, making every item crafted from this leather truly unique. While highly durable, the leather ages beautifully, developing a rich patina over time, adding to its charm and character.

Though rare and prized, hippopotamus leather is ethically sourced and meticulously processed to comply with conservation standards. Its exclusivity and exceptional qualities make it a coveted choice for those seeking both durability and distinctive elegance in their leather goods.

Hippopotamus Hide Availability and Legal Harvesting

Hippo hide is available periodically and is legally harvested under strictly regulated governmental supervision. All special skins comply with CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) requirements.
