The buckle on this belt is too big. My wife and I both agree that its size draws attention, which isn't the desired effect when you dress up. The photo accompanying this review shows this belt compared to another large buckle belt from my closet. The latter is about the size limit that I think seems appropriate when you're dressing up. As you can see, the belt of this product is significantly larger. So I'm deducting a star from my rating for the noticeable buckle size of this belt. However, this may be unfair as Revain's product detail page states that this belt is for 'jeans' which are intended as a casual piece of clothing. I plan to use it for the blue jean shorts I wear at home. Apart from a very large buckle, this belt made a good impression on me. The soft leather creates a pleasantly smooth feeling when you close the buckle when putting them on. The product comes with a punch tool and illustrated instructions showing how to adjust the belt size. See the attached photo which also shows the 3.5" portion of the belt that I removed. I managed to carefully cut the soft skin with scissors in the workshop, but strong hands helped. This isn't a job you want to do with regular cheap scissors.
