My brother-in-law recommended this belt (he works construction and claims his days of 'plumbers crack' are over!). My husband seems to be losing his butt as he gets older, and I hate the droopy drawers look. This belt - and the genius ratchet adjustment - is a big WIN! Order close to your size according to the guide. Once you get the belt, super easy to make a cut to length (leave yourself room for Thanksgiving dinners and Super Bowl splurging). No more tattered, stretched out, or frayed belt holes. Just a good fit, that you can adjust super easy and a nice clean look. You'll be grateful. So will anyone that sees you.
