I wear a 38 in pants and jeans and ordered a 42 belt.  Normally I'd order a 40 but they were out of that size so I'm glad I opted to go 1 size up instead of down.  I'm on the 2nd hole from the end which is exactly where I feel a belt looks best when worn.  If I had ordered a 40 I'd be on the very first hole.

The quality of the belt is great, the leather is nice on both sides, the stitching looks and feels like it's made to last.  The belt buckle is its best feature though, very attractive looking and again doesn't feel like it's going to have any problems.

One reviewer said the belt dosn't fit through the loop on his, must have been a manufacturing flaw on that one belt because mine fits perfectly.

Highly recommended, just be cautious of sizing.
