Hi-

 

Has anyone ordered the obi belt either by Lawrence Zarian or the one from Compliments? I am having a hard time deciding which length to get and there isn't much guidance on either of the product descriptions. I wish they would say what size to order based on your waist size instead of just XS, Medium etc. There are reviews on the Compliements belt that folks had to exchange for different size. 

 

Any comments from any owners of either belt? Good, bad or ugly. Thanks in advance!

Both items have click here measurements.  I would check those since the Zarian belt has a measurement to the hole that the small tie goes through.  Also, I would read the reviews looking for anyone who gives their waist meansurement and what they ordered.  Unfortunately, most belts do this with their measurements and aren't very specific.  I have an extensive collection of leather obi belts and usually get the M/L for my 31-33 inch waist.  Hope this helps a bit.  I found the Zarian click here more helpful.

Any obi belt is ordered by the wide part of the leather so it is likely to meet in the back before the straps are pulled around.

If you go to Amz search for Obi belt, leather and look at their measurements.  The ones selling for about $70 have more accurate measurements.  Please don't delete this before OP reads.  Thank you.
