Optic Men's Belt

Ultimately belt sizing depends on two things, materials and your own personal style. The fastest way to know your size is to take an old belt that already fits and measure it from where the buckle meets the leather to the end tip. Once you have that measurement, just compare it to our size guide below and order the corresponding size.

Importantly different materials will wear differently over time, and we take this into account when we cut our belts. So if you find a 34 in a leather belt to be slightly different from a 34 in a waxed cotton belt, don't fret! This wiggle room is intentional and allows the materials to grow/shrink on your waist to achieve the perfect fit.

For a more detailed guide please review our SIZING GUIDE.

At Beltology we use only premium natural and synthetic fibers in our weaves and they can withstand a heck of a lot of abuse, however there are some do's and don'ts we recommend:

1. if you get your belt wet let it air dry as soon as possible, as wearing it wet will tend to stretch the fibers (the way it would a sweater or pants).

2. it takes time for natural fibers like leather or cotton to form to your waist, this breaking in period is usually a few days based on how often you wear the belt.

3. over the years your belt will likely feel looser than it did when you first got it or in comparison to a new one, don't worry! This is a good thing, as it means your belt and you have become one, like a broken in pair of leather shoes, or a baseball mitt your belt is now perfectly formed to the curve of those hips.
