Worth Knowing
- Loafers: many clients go ½ size down for grip, as long as the length still works.
- Width: a wider fitting adds room in the heel too, which can cause slipping. At this level, many men don't need the wider fitting they wear elsewhere.
- Your reference pair: shoes are often sold slightly large. If yours feel roomy, tell us. It changes our advice.

Belts
Measure your current belt from where the clasp meets the buckle to the hole you use most. Send us that measurement and we will either order the size you need or cut your belt for a precise fit.

Gloves
Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the widest part of the palm, excluding the thumb. Your glove size matches your measurement in inches. Between sizes? Round to the nearest full or half size.

|---|---|---|
| 6 | 15 | 6 |
| 6.5 | 16.5 | 6.5 |
