The belt fits perfectly. I have to say that I was very surprised by the quality of this belt. It looks just like in the movie. The buckle was also a big surprise. A solid piece and looks just like the belt in the movie. If you're cosplaying Star-Lord and thinking about getting this belt, do so. You will not be disappointed. I wear pants from size 32 to 34 and the medium size is perfect. I originally ordered Large and it was too big. So if you are my size, take the average.
