The belt fits me perfectly! You adjust the size to fit your body! It stretches a little, so when you sit down or stand up, you have just enough elasticity for perfect comfort. I would recommend this belt. Only downside is the buckle doesn't go through all the jean belt loops so you have to take it off to get through, not a problem for me but for an honest transparent review I should have mentioned it. I would buy it again, this is my belt. Ideal for any body type/shape. Get one! 4 stars for durability because I've only had it a few months, but it looks and feels great. The quality seems to be very good.
