I bought two packs of 2 pieces in different colors. Belts arrived with no problems. The belt is quite long out of the box and easily fits a 42 inch waist with a few adjustments. I have a 34 inch waist so I used scissors to cut the belt at a 90 degree angle and then unclipped the end of the metal buckle. The closing end was pressed lightly against the cut end of the belt to complete the finished (shorter) belt. Very simple process and you can adjust the belt to fit any waist size. I was afraid that the metal clasp would be scratched, but after a month there were no problems. The belt does not stretch, it is a dense canvas. The belt looks casual or can be worn with dress pants. I highly recommend this purchase.
