Which kind of leather belts are best suited for me...4" or 6" width?!? I'm 5'8".

id go w/ the 4". mine is also 4" and im 5'11". i think 6" would be too much support and it probably would take up the majoriy of your midsection. tell the truth ive never seen a 6".

4 is your best bet. 6 is to big for a belt it would compress your lungs to much.

These are the ones I want to get...either tan or black.

The difference between the 4" and 6" is the width of the back. So, how can that affect my jungs?!? Anymore sugestions?!?

id still say the 4". to me a 6" is going to provide too much support. not to say thats so much of a bad thing, its just that you dont want you body to rely on the belt (the body will think that support will be there all the time). the only guy ive ever seen with a 6" belt is like 6'5" ish.
