How to Measure for Belt Size

If you are reading this, chances are that you were given a special Fennell’s personalized leather belt as a gift, but unfortunately the size is not a good fit for you. Don’t worry! We are able to move the nameplate to a size that will fit you.

To properly measure for your correct size, please read below:

Use a tape measure to measure from the inside tip of the buckle to the hole that is being used the most.

  • Your best fitting hole should be obvious by the buckle mark on the belt. (It may not be the center hole like shown in the diagram above.)

  • We find that the most accurate measurement is found by measuring an existing belt.

  • DO NOT ask for the new belt to be sized for a certain size pants, as that is not accurate.

  • DO NOT tell us that your favorite belt is stamped a certain size on the back.

  • The ONLY foolproof way to size for a belt is to measure an existing belt as described above.

Now that I found my correct size, how do I make the exchange?

1. Draft a simple note to include your name, return address, phone, email and new belt size.

2. Pack the belt in the same box it came in or similar.

  • Treat your return as something that will be resold as new.

  • If you try on the belt “too hard,” creasing on the leather will make the belt difficult for us to sell again.

  • Do not wind the belt up in a tight coil and put a rubber band around it – the same creasing will occur.

  • Do not return the belt in a padded envelope – there’s a higher chance of damage from the delivery company.

  • We reserve the right to discount any belt that is returned with excessive handling, such as
    described above.

3. There is an associated charge of $8.50 to move your personalized nameplate to a new belt size, plus any return shipping costs.
