I have a 33" waist and after reading the reviews I decided to order L/X-Large. I didn't want it to be too short. Well it's too long. I can thread it through the belt loop on the side of my jeans. I measured the belt and it's almost 48 inches long and with the rings it's almost 49 inches. 45 inches long for Plus/Large size. Aside from being too long, the material is well made and the metal end goes through the loops very well. I order small/medium and hope it's not too short. I just got the small/medium and it fits better. The metal end stabs my stomach sometimes, but not so much that I can't carry it. The photos I included were large/x-large and photos of both with tape measure.
