I really like these straps. You all look great. I ordered a gift box with black, brown and gray belts/buckles. CHECK the size. I ordered on Wednesdays; However, the first strap was XL. I tried it on, measured, cut it perfectly, and did the rest. BUT. Instead of measuring everyone the same, I decided to use the length of what I cut off as a guide for others. Luckily he only screwed up one, I found the gap quickly :( but now I don't have much time left and have to hurry up with another brown belt :/.
