I needed a good belt replacement and it looked good. I saw the description "Fits true to size" so I ordered my waist size 34. It arrived quickly, but the strap was exactly 34 inches long, so it's too small. I sent it back (very easy) and ordered another one. This time I measured the belt I was going to replace with the -44." It sounded a little long so I subtracted 2" to be safe and ordered 42". Unfortunately it was too long. I'll order more, this time I'll take it 38 in. I'll find a friend and give him 44 in, won't give him back...
