How we measure OGL Belts

In handmade product brands, how the craftsman measures can be different from one another. We understand how difficult it is to shop for products with sizes from the internet.

Here is the illustrations of how we measure Obbi Good Label belts.

For Obbi Good Label belts, our standard is 5 holes. We measure from Prong-End to the Middle Hole of the belt, which is consider the ideal hole for sizing. 
The above image shows a size XS belt, when lay flat read 34 inches from prong-end to middle hole. However, in realistic usage, the 'go-around-waist' action of the belt will take away around 1.5 to 2 inches of the length of the belt, which eventually means 32 inches on the waist.
So, if you are a true waist 32 inch, this XS will be your size, and you will be expected to use the middle hole.
To put in simply, when selecting the belt size, on our belt chart look at the Middle Hole and minus 2 inches to match your actual waist size.
