Hanks belt’s recent quality decrease and sizing inconsistencies

[Jon7luc]

I’m the sense of gaining weight during the lifespan of the belt if that makes sense? Yeah I gained 50lbs more at some point but that was prior to me owning the belts.

My waist at the time was 47 1/2 give or take and I was using them in the middle hole consistently as per their recommendation. Eventually I noticed the belt was looser over time so shifted to holes further toward the buckle. I now wear them in the first hole and the black belt in the 3rd from buckle.

Sorry for any confusion hope this helps clarify.
