The first belt I bought, in brown, I ordered in a size I calculated based on reviews. It was slightly too big, so excess is hanging past my belt loop. The second I ordered, in black, I got a size smaller, and it is PERFECT. Both are nice leather, heavyweight, and very durable. I recommend both the belt and seller, delivery was fast and without excess (wasteful) packaging. Price could be more reasonable, however, but I would buy again.
