This Alexander Zar men's belt is stated to measure 42 inches in length. This is the distance from the buckle to the first hole on the hook, there are six inches left. So my 42" order was six inches longer than my 34" waist. Beautiful medium sized buckle with mirror finish. The leather is of good quality and the brown pairs well with brown shoes and a similarly colored briefcase. It arrived in an orange box and looks nice as a gift.
