To ensure you get the belt that will offer you the most flexibility, it’s important that you read and follow these instructions. DO NOT base your choice on your pants size. Take a string or tape measure and measure snugly where you plan to wear your tool belt. Belts are typically worn on the hips. This area tends to be wider than where your pants sit. For example, I wear a size 33” waist jeans. But I measure a 37” around my hips, where I like to wear my tool belt. Keep in mind your working conditions. If you work outside in all seasons, layers will increase your circumference. 

Our belts have around four or five inches of flexibility for the best fit. This is more than enough for most people. For an optimal fit, there should be 2″ to a max of 6″ of open space between your belt ends. For instance, if your measurement is 36”, you should go with a MD belt which will leave about 3” of open space. Keep in mind, if you prefer your bags to sit further back, order on the small side.
