Hey all!
My boyfriend's belt finally gave up trying, and I wanted to surprise him with a new one. As a temporary solution, I popped into Walmart and bought a 52 because the pants he was wearing at the time were 52's, but the belt was incredibly tight, and it took a lot for him to get it buckled (not that I minded watching, but, well...
). I still would like to invest in a nicer belt for him, and, more importantly, one that fits a little better. Doing a little creeping, I found that the new pants he bought are size 56 (and seem to fit a bit better than the 52's have been lately).
At any rate, I've always heard that when you buy a belt, you match it to the pants size because, supposedly, that's the size it is at the middle notch, but with that 52, it seemed like the entire thing was 52" long because it just barely fit around his belly. Do big and tall belts always run that way? Should the next belt I buy be a 56 or should I go up a few sizes?
