I didn't pay attention to the width when ordering the belt. It's barely narrow enough to slip through the loops of your jeans. I can't deduct any stars for my mistake. The buckle engages with a distinct click and stays closed until I change my mind. When this wears out. I have the same brand but will look for something a size smaller. I have a 38-40 waist and have about 6 inches left so if your waist is larger measure carefully.
