We ordered sizes 42 and 44 of this belt to keep the one that fits and return the other. Size 42 fits perfectly in the middle hole. 44 was returned. We liked the Fossil belts because of the genuine leather they were advertised and labeled with. The husband wore the belt twice, and it stretched so much that it didn't even last to the last hole. Tonight I made an extra hole in the belt to make it tighter. At the same time, I realized that the belt really wasn't leather, but some kind of compressed fibers. Maybe some of those fibers are skin. It wasn't a cheap belt and I feel deceived. What a disappointment from a brand I held in high esteem! I wish I could return it!
