Being my second heavy duty belt, I went with a slightly thinner belt(1st was 2 leather layers and about 1/16-1/8" thicker) to make the wear on my hips a little less. Loving this belt, especially for the $55 I believe I paid for it. Also liked being able to pick thickness, width, buckle style and metal along with 7/8" holes instead of 1" hole gaps. Been thinking about getting their veg tan version or one that has a little flex in the leather, though I do love not having my belts stretched to beyond belief.
