I've read several descriptions that said the belt is 1 1/4" wide. What I didn't do was go through the photos to find ONE picture that was a different size from 1 1/ 8" to find. So it's too tight for my liking and doesn't fit my 1 1/4" buckle. Ratchet buckles, this needs to be taken into account. The buckle I had was for a thicker belt, so this belt is advanced with a lock and locked but only if there is enough tension left on the belt otherwise there would be plenty of room The belt buckle slips out of the locking teeth I give 2 stars because the strap seems to be well made but the mixed message is deceiving I would going back, but I cut it off before figuring out all the issues.
