Dancing Bears Belt (Oatmeal)
Size & Fit Information
Optional Measuring Methods
Option 1: Measuring with a Tape Measure
- Wear the pants the belt will be worn with, and measure through the belt loops.
- Pull the tape taut, like a belt.
- Round to the nearest inch: ex. 35’’-35.5’’ = 35" and 35.6"-36’’ = 36". This number will be the ideal S&B belt size.
- If in between belt sizes, round up—our belts fit better when slightly larger.
- Works for both men and women.
Option 2: Measuring with an Existing Belt
- Use a belt with a prong style belt buckle.
- Measure from the start of the leather to the most worn hole (use the larger hole if multiple are worn). Follow the curve of the belt.
- If the buckle is longer than 1.5", add 1/2" to the measurement. No adjustment is needed for buckles 1.5" or less.
- Round up to the nearest inch: ex. 35.1’’-36’’ = 36". This number will be the ideal S&B belt size.
- If in between belt sizes, round up—our belts fit better when slightly larger.
- Works for both men and women.
General Information
A size 36 Smathers & Branson belt will measure 36 inches from where the leather starts to the center hole. Please note there may be some slight discrepancies in length due to the handmade nature of our belts.
Our belts have 5 holes, each 0.75’’. The buckle is 1.5’’ long.
Over time leather belts can stretch. A new belt may wear more snuggly than a belt that has been repeatedly worn.
