This is a good quality belt but the texture is different than I expected. The belt I received was suede, not smooth leather. The husband was a little disappointed. He'd still wear it, but he'd definitely prefer smooth, polished leather over suede. My husband has a 31 inch waist. We have a medium, but it could probably fit in a small. To fit around the waist, he fastens this belt at the second narrowest opening, leaving quite a bit of extra belt at the end.
