Sizing
Find Your Fit
Every St.David's piece is handcrafted to last. Use this guide to find the perfect fit for belts, bags, and custom orders.
Measuring for a Belt
- 1Measure around your natural waist — where you typically wear your trousers.
- 2Use a soft measuring tape, keeping it level around your body.
- 3Do not pull tight; allow one finger of slack for comfort.
- 4Your belt size should be 2 inches (5 cm) larger than your waist measurement.
- 5St.David's belts have 5 holes spaced 2.5 cm apart — the middle hole should be the most comfortable.
- 6If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.
Measuring for a Bag
- 1Consider what you carry daily — phone, laptop, notebook, water bottle.
- 2Measure the largest item you plan to carry (e.g., laptop dimensions).
- 3Add 0.5-1 cm of ease for comfortable access.
- 4For strap length, measure from the top of the bag to where you want it to sit.
- 5Crossbody straps should allow the bag to sit at your hip or waist.
- 6When in doubt, bring your items to our Yaba workshop for a perfect fit.
