How do I measure my wrist for a bracelet? +
Measure your wrist with a soft tape measure, without overtightening and without adding extra centimeters. The measurement taken is the one to choose when ordering. For a regular fit, Urban Kord makes the bracelet so that it remains comfortable, moves just enough, and has a nice presence on the wrist. If you have any doubts, write to me before ordering and/or read our guide on How to take measurements for Urban Kord bracelets, belts, and collars.
How do I measure for an Urban Kord belt? +
For belts, it's best to measure a belt you already own that fits you well, from the buckle to the hole you use most often. Alternatively, you can measure your waist where you normally wear your belt. If you're unsure, contact me before ordering: a good measurement avoids alterations later. Read our guide on How to take measurements for Urban Kord bracelets, belts, and collars.
How do I measure for a dog collar? +
Measure your dog's neck with a soft tape measure, leaving enough room for a comfortable and secure fit. The collar should not be too tight, but also not slip off. If your dog is still growing or has a particular size, contact me before ordering to choose the most suitable size together. Read our guide on How to take measurements for Urban Kord bracelets, belts and collars.
