This review is just a "note" to those who have gone by their pants size over the years. You may be in for a rude awakening. There should be a book called "The Resizing of America."

I've worn the same size pants for 10 years, and I ordered the same size belt. Unfortunately what I found was that Carhartt's belt was correctly sized, and I've been fooled by my jeans and shorts manufacturer. It's just the opposite of the fact that a 5 pound bag of sugar is now 4 pounds: the jeans are actually a 42 while marked a 38! Jumpin' jehosaphat!

Anyway, I owe Carhartt an apology, have returned the belt and ordered the correct size.
