Sizing Guide

Important: Skip the Pants Size!

Forget your pants waist measurement – it won't give you the right fit. Here's the proper way to size your tool belt.

Measuring Your Belt Size:

The most accurate method is to measure a tool belt you already wear regularly. Here's how:

Put on your typical work clothes (pants, regular belt, shirt, hoodie – whatever you normally wear on the job).
Wear your current tool belt at your usual position and fasten it to your preferred comfort level. Take note of which hole you're using.
Remove the belt and lay it flat on a surface. Measure from the buckle's end to the hole you were using. This measurement is your true belt size.
Match your measurement to the sizing chart below.

Don't Have a Tool Belt Yet?

No problem – borrow one from a colleague for measuring, or use a cloth measuring tape or rope around your waist where you'd wear the belt (over your work clothes). Measure where it feels comfortable.

Sizing Tips:

Between sizes? Go with the larger option for optimal comfort.
These belts are engineered to fasten at the center hole, giving you 4 inches of adjustment in either direction (9 holes total spanning 8 inches).
Always measure over your full work outfit – tool belts sit over everything you're wearing.

Sizing Chart:

Small: 34" (86.5 cm)
Medium: 37" (94 cm)
Large: 41" (104.5 cm)
X-Large: 45" (114.5 cm)
XX-Large: 49" (124.5 cm)
XXX-Large: 53" (135 cm)

Why Your Pants Size Doesn't Work:

Pants use stretchy fabrics that conform to your body; our leather belts mold over time but aren't elastic.
Clothing sizes are inconsistent – a size 36 in slim fit differs significantly from a relaxed 36.
Tool belts go over your entire outfit, not just your waist.
Most people need a belt 3-7 inches larger than their pants waist, depending on wear style and layering.

Measuring Instructions:

You'll need a flexible tape measure and your tool belt.
With your tool belt on, measure from the top of your toolbelt where the suspenders will attach in the back.
Bring the tape measure diagonally up and over the opposite shoulder to the top of the belt where suspenders will attach in the front.
Round that measurement up to the nearest whole number.

Sizing Chart:

Small: ≤ 38" (96.5 cm)
Standard: 38-48" (96.5 - 122 cm)
Extension Kit: > 48" (122 cm)

Can I Remove It Later?

No - the copper rivet installation is permanent. Choose your placement carefully before installation. This permanent attachment ensures maximum durability and reliability on the job.
