I have had a hard time finding a belt to fit me that isn't embellished with rhinestones and rivets.  I just needed a plain leather belt, so I ordered this.  It feels substantial and I don't expect any quality issues with the Carhartt company.  I got the XXL because I'm 5'8", weigh 215lbs and will wear this with jeans/khakis, just below my waist, which measures 44 1/2".  I wore this on the 2nd to last hole.  Good deal, good quality, fast shipping - meets my needs.
