My waist is 34 inches and it fits well. Very helpful reviews here. Unlike some others, I received a quality belt, although I probably shouldn't expect too much from a $6 belt. I finally decided on this product after noticing that the more expensive products didn't have good reviews. I figured if it was pointless I didn't have a lot of money and I just need a belt because I've lost weight and my pants are a bit loose in the waist so I'd like to be able to wear my clothes while I shop for more fitting stuff. Nice belt. I'll try to remember to update it in a few weeks or so when it's used and I can view it better. Strap length is 43 1/2" (excluding buckle). Buckle fastens holes 1/4" apart Holes end 3 1/2" short of end of strap
