This belt is 1/2" wider and barely fits through jeans buttonholes. It also cuts into my stomach and waist. Because it's too wide, it bends and twists every time I wear it. Unfortunately, it is this all happens on first wear so I can't return it. I bought a brown belt and a black belt, one for me and one for my dad. Both have these issues. We are farmers so there is a lot of movement every hour, and I would not recommend this belt to anyone who wears jeans and has an active lifestyle.
