This belt had to be adjustable to fit waists up to 44 inches. Unfortunately, before I received it, the belt had already been cut and the buckle attached, so the total length of the belt including the buckle was less than 40 inches, giving a usable waist measurement of around 32 inches! It was sealed in plastic as if it were new, but apparently when it was returned from a previous customer no one bothered to notice that it had been cut 6 or more inches from the length. Revane obviously either didn't know or was trying to pass him off as a newbie. Having said that I would say if the belt was new and the right length I would give it 5 stars because I have had other belts like this and really liked them.
