Fits me very well. Nice width at 1.25 inches. I thought it might be too skinny, but this looks pretty good. The Distressed Gray really is gray rather than purple. The buckle is easy to use. It may well eat into the belt, as another reviewer mentioned. Perhaps I can strengthen the area where the teeth make a strong closure on the belt.

Edit: 4 to 3 stars after some wear: The buckle is pretty well done. It bites into my beer belly in some positions. The buckle seems to have a design flaw that may contribute to it poking me (and actually it doesn't poke badly, and not while standing). Hempy's, I wonder if you can adjust the manufacturing process (or ask your supplier to) so that the left part of the buckle faces away from the body, so that the buckle lies flat with the body. Currently, the left side of the buckle connects to the belt material using stamped metal that is forming a triangle to hold the belt. I think the edges of this are not smooth enough and because they are not flat with the body, they chafe a little. This would mean that the folding clasp of the belt buckle would need to be slightly wider so that when it folds it would cover this outward-facing triangle. That, actually, seems like the logical way of crafting this. Maybe I don't know the details. This is a pretty common method of creating this kind of buckle. I will post a pic.

Despite the fact that it LOOKS sort of painfully made. It's actually not uncomfortable to wear and not uncomfortable unless your belt slips above the pants.

Other issues:

1. I don't think it fits up to a 43" waist. It fits me well as a 38-40" waist. It gets through my first belt loop with enough material so as not to slip out.

2. "Cut to the right size" is a little iffy. I don't know if it's common with belts to remove the metal ending piece and reattach it. It may be easy to do. This ending cap is perhaps just clamped down with teeth and you can bend it off and then reattach.
