Wicked cool design that people ask me about all the time! I wear a size 30 usually, but I went with a size 32 belt. Despite this, there isn't too much slack to deal with, which leads me to another point. It's a fantastic but similar fix to have the slack on the inside of the belt, so that way, it's not flopping around. The material is true to the description. It's tough, durable material, and I expect this belt to last me my whole life! It's already my go to belt whether I'm working in the backcounty or around town! This belt is a simple idea, but it's well crafted. My only regret is that I couldn't have bought this belt sooner!
