Looks great, fits as it should or maybe I should say the size is the same as any other belt I have. Bought. I have a 46 in my waist and bought a 48 inch belt. I'm on a dead center notch with 3 holes to the right and left of the clasp. It's snug, but not tight. My favorite aspect of this belt is how thick it is at about 3/16 of an inch. Looks great with blue jeans and khaki pants/shorts. However, it can be too bulky and heavy-duty for dress pants and a suit. It looks great with my office attire and around town. Belts usually last about a year on me. With one as thick as this. I have a feeling I'll have it for some time yet.
