Important Sizing Information:
You are most likely not the same size today as you were when you bought your last belt. Please actually measure yourself with your pants and inner belt on BEFORE ordering.
Do not buy the same size as your pants size. You must account for your pants and your inner belt when buying a duty belt. Buy a size larger than your inner belt and two sizes larger than your pant size.
These belts are measured from the hook to the center of holes. There is approximately 2" of adjustment either way.
If you are confused by these instructions.. please ask BEFORE ordering.
When ordering your Sam Brown belt, order a belt that is 4 inches larger than your pant size. This duty belt will fit over your regular belt.

DO NOT buy a belt that is your waist size OR your pants size!!!
For the best belt buying experience, you can do two things to get an accurate measurement.
1. Use an Existing Belt
Go get a belt that fits well
- Generally, a belt fits you well when you can easily buckle it using the middle hole in the belt
- If you have to use the first hole, you'll have a lot of extra at the end of the belt
- If you're using the holes at the end, the belt is a little too small and the end of the belt might not make it all the way to the belt loop on your pants.
Spread the belt out flat
- Put the belt on a flat surface like a table or on the floor. Lay it down so that the belt is completely flat and doesn’t have any bumps sticking out
- Make sure the belt is fully extended and doesn’t have any slack
- If the belt doesn’t want to stay flat (because of overuse, for example), you can place a heavy object on both ends of the belt to keep it stationary
Measure the belt
- Grab a retractable measuring tape or a fabric measuring tape
- Measure from the base of the buckle prong to the center hole
- If you don’t use the center hole, measure from the base of the buckle prong to the hole you use the most
- This number will probably range between 30 inches (76.2 cm) and 60 inches (152.4 cm), depending on your waist size
- If between sizes, round UP
2. Actually Measure Yourself
Got get a fabric measuring tape
- Fabric measuring tapes have the most flexibility and work best
Put on a pair of well fitting pants
- Make sure your pants fit snugly
- If your pants are too loose, the extra material will cause inaccurate measurement and belt that is too big
- If your pants are too tight, your belt will be too small
Get Measured
- Have someone help you
- Stand normally and breath normally
- Put the measuring tape around yourself where you the belt would set on your pants
- Note the number in inches where tape measure end meets
- If between sizes, round UP
