I needed a strong navy blue baseball belt and I'm very tired of the stretchy BS. My waist is between 36 and 38 inches. I ordered 50", tried it on, adjusted it with the clip system built into the belt, trimmed the excess length and even easily added a few extra fidelity holes. I couldn't be happier. I bet you will too. Don't be the guy who thinks you can still order a 40 inch belt and send it back.
