Belt arrived damaged indicating poor quality control. There is no reason why this item should leave the warehouse. The belt came in a plastic wrap so I didn't have to use a knife to open it. But someone did that before me. Aside from obvious damage (indicative of the overall quality of the material), the belt is less than 1-1/2 inches wide. Total length 41 inches, 36 inches to the center hole, which corresponded to a normal waist size of 34.
