I wanted a 2 inch belt so the belt would stay in place on my pants. Until I started looking for a belt online, I didn't realize how many different ways I had to measure myself for a belt. I also didn't realize how hard it is to find a 2 inch belt. Well after much torment and searching I finally made the decision to buy it and I'm very happy to say I made a great decision. The belt I bought is made of high quality leather, is 2 inches wide and fits perfectly. I highly recommend this belt.
