My husband loves this belt, he has one that has lasted 14 years. I bought this for his birthday, I ordered his pants in size 38, didn't know I should have ordered 2 sizes up so I had to order another one, ended up ordering 4 sizes up, ordered size 42, I have measured his old belt and compared it to a size 38 I accidentally ordered and it was about 4 inches different and it works better. It was nice that I didn't have to pay for the return, I had the opportunity to call Kolya, which is more convenient! 😊 you
