Polo Ralph Lauren Belt 38 inches

I lost weight and dropped from a Large to Medium. I have a huge collection of Ralph Lauren items in Large that I will be posting over time, as well as a large number of Medium items that were meant as replacement items but didn't work out for rwhatever reason. IMO, this belt is beautiful and rare. Haven't seen it before or since. As indicated in the picture, this belt is marked "34" which is the size I have in every other Ralph Lauren belt I own. However, as also indicated in the picture, the length of the belt is barely 38 inches which is way too short for a normal 32 waist . The width of the belt is 1 and 1/8 inches. The leather strands are comprised of 2 dark brown strands in the middle and 2 lighter strands on the edges. No way I'd sell if it fit. I do have a busy law practice so apologies in advance for slow replies to questions or getting your item shipped out.
