Smathers and Branson Needlepoint Belts Big BitsOur hand stitched traditional belt is 1. 25 in width and is finished with full grain, chestnut colored leather and a solid brass buckle. Sizing Information We recommend adding 2 inches to a men's pant size to obtain the best Smathers & Branson belt size. For example, someone who wears a size 36 pant would wear a size 38 in our belts. When the waist is an odd size, increase the belt size by 3 inches (i. e. a size 33 wears a size 36 belt).
