Sizing Instructions - How to Cut & Fit Your Ratchet Belt
Our CEO
“It will fit perfect every single time”
Since 2010, Nexbelt hasn’t just embraced ratchet belt technology, we’ve reimagined it. We took a simple idea and refined it with premium materials, exclusive molds, stainless‑steel craftsmanship, and a patented precisefit system, belts that aren’t just worn, but imbued with character. Because how you carry yourself, and what you carry, is who you are. Our belts don’t follow the rules; they redefine them. We invite you to shed the ordinary, and feel completely, unapologetically yourself—no matter where life takes you.
Why Our Ratchet System Changes the Game
Unlike traditional belts with 1" hole increments, Nexbelt’s ratchet system offers ¼‑inch micro-adjustments thanks to a 40‑tooth track inside the belt. That means zero guesswork, zero stretched holes—and a personalized fit every time.
How to Size Your Nexbelt Ratchet Belt for a Perfect Fit
At Nexbelt, we believe finding the right belt should be simple, smart, and comfortable. Whether you're choosing from our EDC belts, braided collection, or leather collection, here’s the most accurate way to measure and cut your ratchet belt to fit like a glove.
Quick Belt Sizing Guide
Step 1 — Estimate Your Size:
Leather dress belts fit waists up to 45", while all other styles (including braided and canvas) fit up to 50".
For EDC belts and especially for gun belt carry, start with your pant size + 4 inches. This gives you room for both inside-the-waistband (IWB) and outside-the-waistband (OWB) carry.
Step 2 — Trim to Fit:
Turn your belt over and use the scaling system to locate your pant size. Add the recommended inches, then cut along the dotted line using scissors.
Step 3 — Install and Adjust:
Slide the strap into the buckle, and you’re ready. The ratchet teeth allow fine-tuned micro-adjustment for unmatched comfort.
