The first belt was too small. I wear 33-wat jeans and tried the small version (32 inch) but it was too small. So took 34 inches and it fits fine. It's a fine belt, but it's made of rather stiff leather. Nothing soft there. The clasp has very sharp edges. I had to take a file to knock it down a bit, it was so sharp and hard. I like it too, but if it doesn't soften up I'll look for a cloth/fabric belt without a buckle.
