You know how to believe that when you buy a belt that says it fits a waist size 38, it really does fit you , when you bring him home ? Yes, I don't mind trying them on in store, but I can't count on that when ordering online. Thus, this belt is adjustable in two ways, eliminating this dilemma. The possibility of cutting off the end of the belt that goes into the buckle and the presence of a ratchet system for adjustment make this belt the most reliable, functional and sizing friendly. I have ever owned. Not to mention it's stylish. One more thing about this belt; It eliminates the whole "pull back belt, find hole, then thread pin" method that causes the belt's belt to wear down so much that it wears out at the bend point. I will come back to this after I have this new belt. I'm pretty sure not flexing the strap at the attachment point will extend the life of this strap for a while. I will contact you later about this. But now I will recommend this belt to anyone looking for a new take on belts. 5 Stars!
