What size will my embroidery image be on the back of my belt?

If your custom image is tall in height and short in length, your image will be set at 2.75" tall and stretched accordingly. ***IF AT ALL POSSIBLE SEND US A PICTURE OR VIDEO** If your custom image is long in length, we will stretch the image to 11” and adjust the height accordingly.

Should I order a 3" or 4" belt?

The best way to decide is stand tall and measure on your side from the top of your hip bone to the bottom rib. If you measure less than 4" order a 3" belt. If you measure more than 4", go with a 4" belt. It’s all personal preference. These are just recommendations.
