The total length to the center of the final link measures 39.5\" long (100.33 cm), and the larger buckle concho measures 2 & 3/8\" in diameter (6.03 cm). The smaller conchos measure 1 & 13/16\" in diameter (4.6 cm). The belt weighs a heavy 267.2 grams, and the back is signed \"made by Jason Yazzie\" and tests for sterling silver.
