Link Woven Belt

This is a beautiful belt! Wonderful quality, extremely versatile - it is a little thick for some belt loops, if it were just a tad slimmer, it would be perfect. One thing I will say, however, is that I did not end up keeping this belt. While I absolutely LOVED this belt, I think there might have been a sizing mistake with what was sent to me. I originally ordered a size small, based on the sizing chart. When it arrived, it fit but was short and looked/felt silly. I opted to exchange for medium. I confired the sizing on the belt's tag and my original order, then placed the exchange for a size Medium. The strange thing about the sizing is that on the product detail page, the sizes are listed as XS, S, M, etc. but during the exchange process, they use numbers. The 17.0, 17.5, 18.0, etc. Nowhere does this correspond with sizing on the product detail page. It's super confusing, but because the exchange showed my original size as "17.5", I figured the "18.0" equates to the next size up (a medium). When I received the medium, it was literally SMALLER than my original size small belt. The tag on the newly delivered belt said medium but it was tiny! I think Sam Edelman should make this more clear and have actual length measures listed out consistently on the product detail page specification tab AND the return preview.
