After reading many reviews about the size of this belt and others, I had the suggestion to choose one size larger, as some said that it is too small , I got one size bigger and I have to say the right size would be ok. Although the belt I bought was a little big it still fits well as I put the extra length in the belt and pant loops. Just got the band and it looks good but can't speak to durability yet. The buckle is a bit muted and not bright silver or any other color.
