The excerpt below is from the description as of the date of this review.  It is misleading.  The belt itself measures 1.25 inches wide and is 0.15 inches thick.  I measured it with a caliper.  This is not a military web belt, but then again it only cost $5.00.  The .25 inch difference means whether or not this belt can be used for more than holding up one's pants.  The buckle is the part that is 1.5" wide and is made from cheap thin metal with sharp edges.  It's also polished (or plated) to a mirror shine - definitely not suitable for any type of serious applications.  Use another buckle.

"Belt is 1.5 inches wide, at widest point. Belt is .25 inches thick. Belt measures 57 inches long, end to end including buckle."
