    No.

    Thickness at least 10 mm, same width all around. I'm supposing you are ordering from the US or something like that, right? if you are, get a decent belt as you are going to spend some money on that anyways.

    actually I'm ordering from mercadolivre.com.br (lol) I think it's handmade and I can customize it. It's better 10cm or 13cm all around?

    The thickness is just the leather? Cuz the seller tells that it has a 10mm "cushion"...

    You're in Brazil? Don't know if what Brazilian shops there are, but I'm sure there are decent companies that make good belts that will ship to Brazil.

    The belt you've found, is not a good one. Find a belt that is 10cm wide, all the way around. And is 10mm thick all the way around. Leather/suede, no padding.

    That is a dual prong belt, and some people find them annoying to fasten tight enough. Single prong belts are easier. A lever belt is the easiest, but is more expensive.

    Just don't try to use it for a Olympic Weightlifting. It doesn't fit the legal limits.
