I've purchased a few items from SC. This is the first item I was unhappy with. I bought booth belts in brown and black, size 38. What i received were belts that were way too long. Typically the belt size is equivalent to the length of the belt from the buckle to the center hole. As shown in the photo, The holes are well beyond the 38-inch mark. This belt wrapped around me 1 and a half times. I did an exchange and went 2 pants sizes down. I received a brown and black in size 34. Truth be told, it wasnt a big improvement. I could have gone to a 32 belt size, to get to the center hole. So, all this being said, definitely size down if you plan to order. The size 38 & 40 belts are for really big gentlemen. Putting aside the size discrepancy, i do like the look of the belts. Really nice quality leather used and the buckle has some heft too it. Keep that in mind as well. If you manage to get your size right, you should be very satisfied with this purchase. Giving 3 stars for quality of the belts and the exchange process was easy peezy.
