I've grown tall/very tall. I have a 32 waist and a 39 hips on a good day, depending on what pants I'm wearing. I wanted something I could wear around my waist or ride around my hips and figured if I needed it I could make it shorter. The big one definitely offers all of that, as well as some space to fold it up and down. I have army green, it's that cute vintage green from the 50's, not the muted gray olive green of the 70's or the dusty green of now. However, it's a lot darker than I thought…
