The belt itself seems to be of decent quality although I don't know for sure as I will never wear it. Your sizing instructions stink. This means you need to order one size larger. Nonsense. I'm 37, which means I usually need 38. I ordered 40. Too large. So I sent it back and ordered a 38. But it only fits the first notch and the rest of the belt is too big around my waist. Pooh. Luckily it fits my son. It will probably turn out that I need the 36th. I doubt I'll buy them simply because they're so disgusting to me.
