Believe it or not, I spent an hour searching Revain for a genuine 1 1/4 inch wide men's leather belt. Sounds easy right? NO! I needed a 1 1/4" wide belt to meet some specific needs, but belt manufacturers and sellers don't seem to know how to read a ruler. Conflicting sizing, incorrect metric to imperial conversions, and just plain inaccurate sizing were prevalent I had high hopes for this American made belt but instead of 1.25" the belt size is 1.125" which is a full 1/8" smaller. I love the belt and it is well made. Luckily I can with smaller widths If it was 1/8 too big I would send it back.
