How to Size Your Occidental Leather Tool Belt

If you are considering buying your first Occidental Leather tool belt or replacing an old friend who has been with you for years, you may need to resize the tool belt. Here is how it can quickly be done.

Place your existing tool belt in a straight line and measure from the end of the buckle to the most used hole. Select the belt size (by midpoint) closest to your measurement. If you do not have a tool belt to measure, you can get an approximate size by adding four” to your pant waist size.

Tool Belt Size Considerations

Stretch

The 5035 all-leather belt series will stretch ½” to ¾” during the break-in period, and the 8003 leather/nylon belt will stretch ¼” to ½.”

Additional Accessories

If you use Occidental Leather 9008 Hip Buddies, 5005 Belt Liner w/Sheepskin, or 5006 Hip Pads w/Sheepskin, you must add one” to two” to the belt length you need.

Heavy Winter Clothing

In many areas of the country, customers wear coveralls in the winter when work requires them to wear outside clothing. This could add several inches to the belt size you may need. In this case, purchasing a second “Winter Belt” may be a good option. Thank you in advance for buying a handmade USA product.
