Believe it or not, I spent an hour searching Revain for an authentic 1 1/4 inch wide men's leather belt. Sounds easy right? NO! I needed a 1 1/4" wide belt to meet some specific needs, but belt manufacturers and sellers don't seem to be able to read the ruler. Conflicting sizing, wrong metric to imperial conversions, and just plain inaccurate sizing were prevalent. I had high hopes for this American made belt but instead of 1.25" the belt size is 1.125" which is a full 1/8" smaller. I love the belt and it is well made. Luckily I can handle smaller widths. If it 1/8 was too big I would send it back.
