Really liked the look and feel of this belt but unfortunately the belt loop fell within 20-30 wears. The Staples connecting it don't seem long enough to do the job. I contacted Orion support and didn't get any response. It's a shame.

I am a waist size 29. As recommended on the drop, I ordered up a size and received a size 32 and it is still too tight, I can barely get it done up on the last belt hole but it's uncomfortably tight and I can't wear it. It's a beautiful belt but the sizing is way off. I have contacted support to see about an exchange for a larger size.

I ordered the belt 1 size up like recommended but it's too small, can barely make it fit in the last hole, should have ordered the belt 2 size up at least.

Well judging by the sizing comments below I'm skipping this drop. According to Orion's sizing instructions I'm size 36, I wear size 34 pants (so that matches Massdrop description), but according to the comments I should get a size 42 or something. How difficult is it to get the sizing for a belt right?

DoriroD I'll second dtremit's post just below that suggests using the sizing help info from Orion's website. It's pretty accurate. I purchased a size 36 on the last drop. I'm in the process of losing some weight, so it's a bit longer than I currently want, so I've already bought a size 34 on this drop to replace it. Hopefully these measurements below can help you decide if you need a size 36 belt or not. Here are the explicit measurements for THIS size 36 belt if it helps you. You're welcome to buy mine if you want, I've had some interest from local friends already (the belt has never been used, not even once to try on using the buckle). Total length of the belt is 42" from where the buckle sits in the middle of the leather loop created with the screw fasteners to the end of the narrow tip. From where the buckle sits in that belt loop to where the buckle prong sits in any belt hole adds another 1". Again, measuring from where the buckle sits in the loop, the distances to the middle of the 5 holes for size 36 belt are: 1st hole: 33 5/8" 2nd hole: 34 5/8" 3rd hole: 35 9/16" 4th hold: 36 9/16" 5th hole: 37 1/2" Again, remember to add the distance from the loop to where the buckle prong sits in the hole (1" for the included buckle). I'm guessing the intended distances were all to 1/2" (e.g. 33 5/8" is intended to be 33 1/2"), but I assume the processes the belts go through affect both the where the holes are created as well as the movement of the leather (e.g. shrinking/stretching). So if you've got a size 36" belt (or some other size of your favorite belt), comparing these measurements above to your belt should put you in the ballpark for comparing this Orion belt, I imagine. I'll also add that the distance from the 5th hole to the narrow tip of the belt end adds another 4 1/2", and that belt end consists of 3" at the 1 1/2" full belt width, narrowing down over the remaining 1 1/2" to the narrow tip. Also for reference, I wear a size 32 in Levi's jeans (vanity sized to actual 34" waist). Adding the 1" buckle to the measurements above, by eyeballing where this particular belt would sit on me, for this belt to fit me (not too tight/not too loose), I would likely end up using the 2nd hole in the measurements above using the included buckle, making the total distance 34 5/8" plus 1" for the buckle.....a grand total of 35 5/8" (pretty darn close that size 36 belt I ordered). So this belt is perfectly functional for me, if I wanted to use it on the 2nd hole, with the included buckle. That also means I have a bit more belt than I'm used to showing BEYOND where the buckle ends to the very tip of the belt (a total of 7 1/2", made up of the 3" for holes 3/4/5, added to the 4 1/2" from hole 5 to the narrow tip end of the belt. The biggest reason I'm getting the new 34" belt are I'll likely be using western style buckles on this belt, and as those buckles are often 1 1/2 to 2" long (instead of the 1" included buckle), they will fasten in the 1st hole. Again, that still works fine, unless I lose a bit more weight and then the belt will be too long for my needs. Again, the minor quibble is personal, I don't like having that 7 1/2" extra length and holes showing past the buckle, just longer than I prefer (looking from the front, the excess length runs all the way around my side to hip). Hope this info helps,

Hey Massdrop -- would be nice to see the extended sizes that Orion offers included in a future drop. They are a very reasonable upcharge.

Orion's sizing instructions here are much more helpful than what Massdrop has provided:

got mine today, leather is thick and smells good. my size is 36 with most jeans, and i sized up to 38 in this belt which fits me pretty good. there are some dents but overall i am satisfied with this sub 50 belt. hope the hardware lasts.

This is sad, I am a size 34-36 depending on the brand of jeans I wear, I ordered a size 40 to be safe, and guess what? IT DOESN'T FIT!
This is abhorrent, I paid $43.74 for this belt, I waited a month and a half, I waited patiently for it to be delivered, and I'm greeted with a belt that doesn't even reach around my entire waist to the buckle. Do better.

TuckerPHave you measured the belt itself to confirm that it’s undersized? If you haven’t, it may be that your jeans just use drastic vanity sizing.

Don't listen to user recommendations. LISTEN TO THE MANUFACTURE! ONE SIZE UP FROM YOUR NORMAL IS BEST SIZE! DO NOT GO 2 SIZES UP LIKE OTHERS HAVE RECOMMENDED.
