I agree that these run small. I have a 35-36" waist and ordered a 38" belt, and wish that it was 2" longer. The tip of the belt doesn't quite fall well with most of my pants. Pity I can't exchange it. I will sell it for $25 to anyone interested ;-).
That said, it is a great quality belt that will last a long time.
