Sizing conventions vary by brand and by cut — this table shows the standard published conversion. Always check the garment's own size chart when one is available. See how these tables are compiled.
This is a pure unit conversion rather than a regional sizing system — inches to centimetres at the standard 2.54cm-per-inch rate, useful for reading a belt or waistband measurement off a tape marked in the unit you don't normally use.
Because belt size specifically refers to the fastened waist measurement (the hole you actually buckle to, not the strap's full length), this conversion is most useful applied to that fastened figure rather than to the belt's total manufactured length.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the US-to-EU belt size conversion elsewhere on the site?
It's the same underlying arithmetic (inches to centimetres) but presented as a raw unit conversion rather than tied to US/EU belt sizing labels specifically — useful for any inch-to-cm reading, not just belts sold with a labelled size.
