Love this belt, unfortunately I ordered the 51" and received a 72" that touches the floor when worn. Can't exchange in time for what I planned to wear it for, but I found a way to make it work. I was able to loop the belt around myself and through the ring twice and it still gives me about 10-12" of belt hanging after looping, so just enough to look fine without modifying it. That said, I may try to modify it from the ring end in the future, seems doable! This belt is still very nice and exactly what I wanted sizing aside, so I'd recommend if you like the style grab it! Seems very sturdy as well.
