What size Kent Saddlery belt do I need?
Kent Saddlery belt sizing is based on the fastening of the belt through its middle hole. This allows for adjustment in either direction as needed. To determine your Kent Saddlery belt size:
METHOD 1. USE AN EXISTING BELT THAT YOU'VE WORN RECENTLY AND WHICH FITS WELL
Lay your belt flat and use a tape measure to measure from the tip of the buckle tongue (the part of the buckle that goes through the holes in the belt) all the way to the hole you use most often. Match this measurement to the closest measurement in the first column of the table below and use the corresponding number from the second column as the Belt Size when placing your order.
METHOD 2. USE YOUR WAIST MEASUREMENT AS YOUR GUIDE
While wearing the jeans / pants you’re most likely to wear with your belt, thread the measuring tape through the belt loops of the jeans / pants, and take your measurement, ensuring that the tape is taut. Match this measurement to the closest measurement in the first column of the table below and use the corresponding number from the second column as the Belt Size when placing your order.
METHOD 3. AS A LAST RESORT – WHEN MEASURING ISN’T AN OPTION
If it is not possible to obtain a measurement to work out a belt size, eg if you’re selecting a belt for someone else as a gift and have access to only their jeans’ / pants’ size you can use the jeans’ / pants size as the Belt Size (second column in table below) when placing your order. It is generally close enough in most cases.
Please Note: WE RECOMMEND USING EITHER METHOD 1 OR 2 ABOVE TO WORK OUT YOUR KENT SADDLERY BELT SIZE. We advise against relying on jeans’ / pants’ size alone whenever possible as they can vary significantly. It is worth taking the extra trouble of measuring to save time and money later.

The original style solid leather braces with the single rear clip that Lyle Kent wears himself have proven popular with many Outback station men, and we received requests from customers to purchase “Lyle’s” braces.

Benefits of braces:
- Practicality – Most importantly, provide support to hold your pants up!;
- Health – Braces help maintain good posture;
- Style – Braces are certainly making a come back in fashion, for older men, and younger alike, from Outback ringers, to city hipsters!;
- Looking good – especially if you’re carrying a bit of extra weight, braces create a vertical eye path to give a slimming effect.
Image 1: At Clifton Hills Station, SA, Lyle’s hand made leather braces were the topic of conversation! There wasn’t a set of new ones on board the truck shop, so Pete Nunn was keen to give Lyle’s a try! He ordered a set immediately, planning to wear them in ‘The Fashions of the Field’ at the Birdsville Races which was happening a few weeks later.
Image 2: Harry Alick, from Fossil Downs Station (Fitzroy Crossing, WA), was another one of an increasing number of young men (so far!) who have purchased a set of Kent Saddlery braces. Lots of “encouragements” from onlookers were mentioned as this photo shoot took place! One being, “EmBRACE it, Harry, emBRACE it!”.
Image 3: In 2018, Col Trotyer purchased a set of Kent Saddlery braces which he wears ‘all the time’. And so, in 2019 he returned to the travel shop to match them up with a belt. Watched by partner Chris Alexander (Yarrie’s cook extraordinaire) and Lyle (belt hole puncher extraordinaire), he was clearly satisfied with the finished product! Thanks Col!
Image 4: Darcy Lohse, working for the Krank Industries contracting team at Brunchilly Station, proved that Kent Saddlery braces look great and are practical for any age group – as are Kent Saddlery handmade belts and pouches!
