I am very tired of driving to airports and other places where the detector is available. Each time I have to take the belt off and then try to put it back on while many others try to fit. In addition, the cost of a new belt is now very high. I love blue with jeans. They fit perfectly and keep their setting. I have a 36 waist, maybe a bit bigger and it fits perfectly with no cut. Black goes well with trousers or black jeans. They are well built and I really like the strap material. Imagine two belts for less than $14!
