This belt is 1/2 inch wide and barely fits through jeans belt loops. It also cuts into my stomach and waist. Because it's too wide, it bends and twists every time I wear it. Unfortunately, this all happened the first time I wore it, so I can't return it. I bought a brown belt and a black belt, one for me and one for my dad. Both have these problems. We are farmers so there is a lot of exercise every hour and I would not recommend this belt to anyone who wears jeans and has an active lifestyle.
