The belt is just right for my taste: I don't like belts that are too long. This one is an inch longer than my 32 inch gap belt. So, I think it works with a small size. Compared to what I have from Timberland that I wear on the third hole, I wear this hip belt on the second hole. It's made in China but well made and doesn't burn like other brands' belts from what I've read in other posts.
