Belt size guide
Finding the correct belt size is essential to enhance your style, ensure a perfect fit, and guarantee maximum comfort. In this guide, you'll find all the information you need to choose the right BRUCLE belt size and shop with confidence.
Men’s belts and women’s belts from BRUCLE are sized based on the waist circumference, meaning the point where you typically wear your belt. This measurement ensures a tailored and optimal fit.
All our models are designed to be easily shortened, ensuring the perfect fit without compromising functionality or aesthetics.
How to measure your belt size
To correctly determine your BRUCLE size, you can follow one of the following methods:
Method 1 – INDIRECT WAIST MEASUREMENT
If you already own a leather belt that you wear regularly:
- Measure the distance between the hole you normally use and the end of the buckle: this result corresponds to your waist size.
- This measurement is the one to select as your belt size on the product page.
If you have a woven or elastic belt without holes, measure from the most used area to the buckle using the same method.
Note: do not rely on the numbers printed inside the belt: internal markings may not be accurate.

Method 2 – DIRECT WAIST MEASUREMENT
If you don't have a belt to reference, use a measuring tape:
- Wrap the tape around your waist where you normally wear your belt, as if it were a belt.
- The measurement in centimeters is the size to select on the product page.

If you’re unsure between two sizes
We recommend choosing the larger size. BRUCLE belts can easily be shortened, allowing you to adjust them effortlessly.
Fit and ideal proportions
A well-fitted belt should have:
- Two or three extra holes beyond the center one;
- A tip that slightly extends past the first belt loop;
- A comfortable and stable hold around the waist.
Adjustments and customizations
Every BRUCLE belt can be shortened or customized upon request, either at the time of purchase or later: this ensures a perfect fit for every body type.

It’s better to go with the larger size, which you can later shorten. You can also read our guide on how to shorten a belt.
