First of all, this is my third ratchet strap that I own. I'm a 32 inch waste so often when I buy a ratchet strap that I end up paying for a large piece of leather that ends up being cut off and wasted. This is the only company that has offered a smaller size at a cheaper price and it literally fits perfectly. didn't have to be cut. I knew right away that it was real leather and of a higher quality than the other two belts I bought. My last belt was 1.38" wide and not wide enough so I checked the width. around this time. The width of this belt is perfect! This is a stylish belt buckle and it works really well so I literally have no complaints. Be sure to try this belt! I also bought two other ratchet straps which I sent back because they weren't wide enough or the material felt and looked cheap.
