I ordered a small belt 28-32 inches. I have a very nice belt, 36 inch belt. I know this because I compared it to my 30-32" Dockers belt and it was 4" longer. But it comes with instructions on how to cut it and make it shorter to the right size. But the instructions are imprecise and it's not easy to do this without damaging the belt. There are two large clips that need to be pulled out to properly cut and size the belt and then the clips will be missing and the belt will not work either. I have no idea why people say these straps fit properly because obviously they only use one size fits all and that's not how straps work.
