I ordered size 34-36. I wear 33/34 waist jeans. This belt was very tight. In fact, I put it in the outermost slot, but there are no instructions on how to release it. After 30 minutes of trying and choking, I finally just gave it up. Literally. There is no reason why a person with size 33 pants shouldn't fit a size 34-36 but rather a 28. Terrible purchase. Ship belt parts as soon as possible.
