Looking back since 20/20 I should have known the belt would be too small but the description said it fit a 38-42 waist customs would fit. . However, a 40" belt will not physically fit a 42" waist. In fact, it doesn't even fit a 40" waist, as 40" is an end-to-end measurement, not a distance from buckle to flat waist. As a result, the belt is too small for the suggested waist sizes.
