lately I'm a size 32-33 and wear running mill jeans, below are my observations: * Very strong/stiff strap * Due to the above, the strap does not wrap around my back, leaves a gap and makes sitting in a chair a little uncomfortable, but not a big deal, but I hope it loosens up feel a bit more * 1.50 is ok for belt loops, 1.75 might be too big for regular pants/jeans * Sizing is correct (size small to 33) I don't see the point of using this as I get fatter And that's it, can't find any other fault as this belt is exactly what i expected.
