Your Correct Size

Place the belt on a flat, hard surface (a table). Using a measuring tape (tailor's tape works best) measure from the fold on the buckle end of the belt, to the hole that has the most wear. This measurement will become the center hole.

Or in most cases you can take your pant waist size and add 2 inches for the correct belt size. For Example: If your pants are a size 32 you should add two (2) inches to the pant size and purchase a size 34 belt. This will put the buckle into the center hole allowing 2 holes in either direction. Holes are 1 inch apart.

Type of Buckle

Buckle style will also determine the belt size.

If the belt is worn with the buckles below apply the 2" rule. If you wear a 36 waist, then the belt size will be 38.

3 or 4 Piece Silver Buckle Set


Slide Buckle (Military Style)


Tongue Buckle

When the belt will be worn with a Trophy buckle, your pant waist size and your belt size will be the same.

Under or Over Sized Belts:
Under Sized Belt - Any belt strap under a size 26. If you require a strap smaller than a size 26 it will be considered custom.

Over Sized Belt - Any belt strap over a size 42. Maida's can make a belt (Alligator and Crocodile, not Calf Skin) any size because the skins are spliced together creating a nearly invisable seam. After a size 42 the backing of the strap may have to be spliced. The splices are more visible than the Alligator and Crocodile but are on the reverse side of the strap that no one can see. We've made many in the size 50 and 60 range with great sucess. We also recommend a wider belt (1 3/8 " or 1 1/2"). Thinner straps have atendenancy to feel like they are cutting into the wasteline causing discomfort.
