Two years ago I purchased this belt in 38" from Amazon - my husband lost weight and wanted the same belt in a 36" . He really liked it. The 38" belt has been warn every day for the past two years and is still in great shape. This belt is quality, lasts and looks very good.  I had no problem replacing the 38" with the 36" and I hope I'll need to buy a 34" in another 2 years!
