Pay attention to the size. The overall length of this belt is listed, not the waist size it fits. If you're at the limit, it should probably take you a little longer. Also, the height of the belt is higher than anything I have so in some cases I could barely get it through the loops even with both hands and no shorts. (I do NOT recommend wearing it at the airport!) However, this belt is of a very high quality with a strong buckle system and thick webbing that I am sure will last a long time. It looks so much better than the super thin canvas straps and other cheap straps I see everywhere these days.
