Had to send it back - the belt material itself is thin and I think I'm one of those "between sizes" so was the size I got , too big and I didn't want to ruin it by punching a hole in it. But the next size down will probably be too small based on what I've read. Wearing a belt as a fashion statement is cool. If you want it to hold up your pants, maybe not this one. Come on USA! Wear your colors with pride!
