How to Measure Your Belt and Waist Size: A Step-by-Step Guide by Kakadu Traders Australia

Finding the perfect belt size is key not only to comfort but also to the durability and functionality of the belt itself. At Kakadu Traders Australia, where we pride ourselves on crafting rugged, reliable gear for all your adventures, getting the right belt fit is fundamental. This guide will walk you through the steps to ensure you select the right belt for your needs, emphasizing the practical craftsmanship of our products.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

To start, you’ll need a flexible measuring tape. If you don’t have one, a piece of string and a ruler will do just fine.

Step 2: Decide Where You Wear Your Belt

Think about whether your belt will sit on your hips or waist. This will affect the size you need, as these areas might differ in size.

Step 3: Measure an Existing Belt

If you have a belt that fits well, lay it on a flat surface. Measure from the point where the buckle meets the leather to the hole you use most often. This gives you your belt length.

Step 4: Measure Your Body

Wrap the measuring tape around your waist or hips where your belt would normally sit. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight and that it’s parallel to the floor for accuracy.

Step 5: Understand CM vs. Inches

Belts are typically sized in inches in the USA. If your measurement is in centimeters, simply convert it by dividing by 2.54 to get your size in inches.

Step 6: Consult a Belt Size Chart

Use a belt size chart to translate your measurement into the appropriate belt size. Our size charts cater to a range of body types and sizes, ensuring you find the perfect fit.

A Handy Conversion Size Chart

Use the measurements you obtained to determine your belt size. Most belts are sized in inches, so round your waist or hip measurement up to the nearest inch.

Step 7: Consider a 7-Hole Belt

For those who experience weight fluctuations or prefer a more adjustable fit, a 7-hole belt is ideal. It offers more flexibility than the standard 5-hole belt, allowing for better adjustments over time.

Step 8: Try It On

After purchasing, try on the belt using the middle hole. It should feel comfortable, not restrictive, allowing for slight adjustments either tighter or looser.
