I've read several descriptions that say the Belt is 1 1/4" wide. What I didn't do was go through the photos to find ONE picture that was a different size 1 1/8". So it's too tight for my liking and doesn't fit my 1 1/4" buckle. Ratchet buckles, this must be taken into account. The buckle I had was for a thicker belt, so this belt is advanced and locked with a lock, but only when there is enough tension left on the belt, otherwise there will be enough room for the belt buckle to slip out of the locking teeth. I'm giving 2 stars because the strap appears to be well made, but the mixed message is deceiving. I would go back but I cut him off before figuring out all the issues.
