Trying to figure out what size belts to make for having on hand to sell.
If some yall could take the belt you wear and measure from the end of the fold where the buckle goes to the hole you use and let me know in inches, it would be a great help.
Thank you

I wear a size 42 pants but the buckle to notch measures 44 I just checked it yesterday I was looking at ordering another gun belt

36-46 are probably going to be your most common sizes

there are a lot of guys wearing 36 , 38 , 40 , 42, 44 pants


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I tried that method when I first starting make belts, had about five or six different sizes, took me forever to sell them !!

Now I just make to order after asking and describing how to measure them, which is the better part, so many people don't know how to measure it's better to just tell them how you wish it done and it saves on repeat work as well !

As it is any way, people always leave more length than they need when measuring, it's like they can't they have measured it correctly, LOL

38.5 inches from the fold to the hole I use. I wear a 33 waist size pant and was surprised that the belt length would be that different. Learn something new every day.

Its a phenomenon called vanity sizing. Your true waist size is typically 2-4 inches bigger than your "jeans" size.

I thought it was called If I wear 33s I can wear them comfortably without them falling off, if I go to 34s I spend half the day pulling up my pants.
