How do you fasten your seat belts?
The rule is that the correct way to wear the belt in men's trousers is to fasten it to the central hole, leaving about 15 cm of tip from the point where the belt is fastened.
This is a rule that you can apply both in the case of standard 5-hole belts and in the case of our belt with patented buckle, where there are 9 holes. The distance of the holes in our belts is different and allows our customers to have one size larger or smaller.
Difference between men's and women's belts
Are you wondering if the Men's belts fasten on the right or left? The direction of the men's belt it is always on the left (contrary to that of women which is instead on the right).
Obviously it is above all a question of style and elegance, because for the purposes of the belt nothing changes unless there is a buckle with a particular design or logo.
In this case the buckle itself will indicate the right location.
Men's belt size: here's how to determine the right one
To determine the size and correct belt length you have several possibilities.
Let's start with the simplest way to do it find the right size of men's belt, that is, identify its size using a model that you already have in your wardrobe.
Therefore, take a belt that you use regularly and with which you feel comfortable enough, and spread this accessory along its entire length on a flat surface. If the belt is particularly worn, it is possible that it may no longer be as "straight" as it once was. It's up to you to straighten it as much as possible, perhaps with the help of a wall perpendicular to the table.
That said, measure the distance between the buckle attachment and the hole in which you are going to close the belt. This is the size you will have to consider when making your next purchase.
How to find the right belt size without a pattern
Of course, if you don't have any belts on hand, all is not lost. In fact, you can still calculate the size of the belt easily and directly even without having a previous model.
To do this, you can insert a tape measure inside the belt loops of your trousers, measuring your waistline. At this point you will have to add about 15 centimeters to this measurement, in order to find the ideal belt length.
For example, if your waist size is 100 centimeters, then you will have to go and buy a men's belt that measures 115 centimeters. If you have a 110cm waist, you will need to opt for a 125cm belt, and so on.
What if you don't even have a tape measure? Then, all you have to do is rely on one conversion table between the size of your trousers and the size of the belt you will need to purchase.
