  • Custom Belt Fit

    J.Hilburn Custom Belts are handcrafted in Texas one at a time, from fine Italian calf leather in a range of colors. A correctly fitted belt will close comfortably for your client at the middle hole. This fit will allow him to shift the belt larger or smaller if his waist size changes. We recommend ordering custom belts 2″ over the Client’s trouser waist to achieve the best fit.  Our woven belts are sized identically to our flat belts and we recommend ordering both at the same sizing.

     

    If your client has a belt that fits him well, measure from the hole which he uses the most to the end of the leather where the buckle is attached. This will be your ordered measurement.

     

  • How to Measure Custom Belts

    J.Hilburn Custom Belts are handcrafted in Texas one at a time, from fine Italian calf leather in a range of colors. The middle hole of the belt will fall at the ordered measurement with approximately 6″ of tail extending beyond the hole.  To measure the finished belt, start at the point where the buckle meets the leather, hold the tape measure flat and measure to the middle hole. This measurement will match the ordered belt size. Past the middle hole there will be an additional 6”-7″ of leather. For example a size 35 belt will measure 35” to the middle hole and 41” to the end of the leather.
