I struggled with this decision when I bought my first kilt belt. Consequently, I inquired of the woman at the Utilikilts store who advised I buy a large (38"/40")for my 33" waist. It is waaaay too large for me, but I poked a coupla new holes in it and push the buckle to the side so that the end is held in place by a belt loop on my PK.

For my nice kilt belts, I measured around my waist while wearing my bulkiest kilt and then ordered belts 2" larger. My waist is 33" bare, roughly 34" around with kilt. A size 35" belt would have fit perfectly but wasn't available, so I ordered a 36", and it works fine.

Since all of my belts are of the old fashioned buckle type, I am not sure about how your belt clasps, so I cannot comment on that.
