Based on conversations I have had with some belt makers, they size the belt to be whatever waist size you specify when buckled at the center hole. This gives you the ability to add or lose weight without having to buy a new belt.
So when I ordered a 42" belt, it fit at 42" when buckled on the center hole, which give me at least 1", and almost 2", of adjustment either way.
Don't forget that with a kiltbelt, you may have a bit more girth in the waist from closures for the kilt. Buckles add a bit of size, so does velcro. Belts are usually the same as waist size, but not usually the same as jean size.If you are ordering a belt to go over your kilt, get the kilt first, measure the area where you want the belt to go, than order the belt.
For me it works: pant size + 2" = waist size = kilt size. Kilt size + 2" = standard belt size. That said, better to buy the belt on the large size if you're not sure, because you can always add another hole or two.
