I love this belt.  It's well made, which is a rarity these days. I bought 4" larger than my pants size, and it's a perfect length with room to fatten up.

Update: 4 years later, and I still wear this belt daily. It's holding up well.  I am very glad I got the 34 as I've probably increased 2" in the waist due to the ravages of aging.  I am a 32" waist now, and if I were to buy it again, I'd get a 36 this time.  There are plenty of holes, so you can't really buy it too large.  Err on the side of caution.
