I really like this belt. After reading some of the reviews I figured I'd order a large, I should have gotten a medium. My waist is thirty six and I thought I should make it a little bigger and you really don't need it. I wear it to work every day and it's the only strap that holds and doesn't pull on my jeans when I'm wearing them. The quality is really good and although part of the strap has velcro it doesn't wear out at all.
