I have different belt sizes, even the same sizes don't fit the same things, so I asked other people here for measurements. I was still skeptical, but I really liked the look of the belt, so I ordered it anyway. The size 42 belt I wear fits me to the last hole which doesn't allow for any adjustment. This 42 strap fits my middle hole perfectly and is great as it should be. I love the look of this belt. LOVE IT! By the way, I wear 40 in jeans.
