I purchased this as a gift for my wife.  The quality & design of this belt were superb.  I measured her size 37 waist and the large size belt fit exactly as decribed in the sizing chart.  Belt width is 1.43 inches, thickness is 0.16 inch thick, so this is a substantial belt.  Leather is very high quality. The oval belt buckle is 2.7 inches high x 3.25 inches wide, very stylish design.  Please be sure to measure the waist where the belt wll be worn. It would be difficult to modify this belt if you get the wrong size.
