How to Size Your Occidental Leather Tool Belt

Don't use your pants waist size! Measure your belt as instructed below.
1 - The best way to get the right size is to measure the Tool Belt you currently wear exactly where you wear it and with the the work clothes you normally wear.
2 - Put the belt on where you would normally wear your tool belt and over your normal work clothes. Note which hole you use to fasten the belt.
3 - Take the belt off, lay it flat and measure from the end of the buckle to the hole you used.
That measurement is your belt size. Compare your measurement to our size chart below.

Tips:
✓  If you don’t have a tool belt, borrow one from a coworker (or you can use a cloth tape measure or length of rope).
✓  If you're between sizes, size up for the best fit.
✓  Do not use your pants waist size!! 
✓  Remember, you wear your rig over your pants, regular belt, shirt, hoodie, etc.  Size your belt for your work habits.

Our belts are designed to buckle at the midpoint hole, allowing 4" of adjustment in either direction for a secure and customizable fit.

Why not use pant size?

• Pants are made with materials that stretch to fit you. Our belts will form to you over time but are not "stretchy". 
• Clothing sizes vary, so a 36” skinny jean fits differently from a 36” relaxed fit.
• Tool Belts are worn over your clothing; pants, regular belt, shirt, hoodie, etc.
• Tool belts usually need to be 3”-7” larger than your waist size, depending on how you wear them.
