In need of a new belt? Not sure what your belt measurement is? For YOKU belts we have made it super simple to get the perfect belt size.
Use your pant size
We have done our best to make your pant size your YOKU belt size. So start there. A YOKU belt has 3 holes so you should be ok with this. It also ships with a leather hole punch so you can easily add another hole if you need to at some point in the future
Using your old belt measurement
One way to get a great fit on your belt is to grab your old belt and measure from the edge of the frame to the hole that you use right now. It's important to try to lay the belt as flat as you can on the table and have it straight. An older belt will have a curve to it, especially if its leather so you'll need to correct for this
Once you have this flat and as straight as possible then simply lay a tape measure along side the belt and measure as shown in the images below.
Belt Measurement starting at the far edge of the frame
Belt measurement ends where the hole you use the most lines up.
Get this number IN INCHES and deduct 4 from that number. In my example below it measured 36 inches so I would choose a size 32. I also wear a size 32
It should be noted that the size you get may not line up with your actual pant size as these can vary widely.
Either way the YOKU belt comes with 3 holes, each 2.5cm (basically 1 inch) apart and a leather hole punch which you can use to add another hole if you need to for any reason (just need a hammer and a old piece of wood you can use underneath to brace the leather when you punch out the hole)
No belt? Try using a tape measure
If you don't have an existing belt you can use then the equivalent approach is to use a tailors measuring tape around your waist, over jeans/pants where you would normally wear them. You will want to have the tape be snug but not so tight you can't squeeze 2 fingers in behind the tape.
If you don't have a tailors measuring tape for your belt measurement then best to get a piece of string and do the above then lay that flat and taught against a handyman's measuring tape
