The individual holes punched along the strap of a belt to accommodate the metal pin or prong of the buckle are officially referred to simply as "belt holes" or "adjustment holes." In manufacturing and leathercraft terminology, they are sometimes called eyelets, though true eyelets typically feature metal grommet rings reinforcement, whereas standard leather belt holes are clean punched perforations. Typically, a standard dress or casual belt features five evenly spaced adjustment holes, with the middle hole designed to serve as the exact sizing reference point when the wearer's pant size matches the belt's designated measurement specification, allowing room to adjust up or down.
