My son loves these belts and recommended them to me, but apparently they aren't very good for tall people. The buckle mechanism is very difficult to release quickly, so good luck in the bathroom if you're in a hurry. I've had similar buckles and had no problem pulling them out. Nice looking belt but I'm not impressed, especially considering how much they cost. My son is skinny and loves thongs so I gave him this very expensive thong (as it needs to be cut to fit) otherwise I lost $50.
