I'm not a fan of belts, so there's a lot I don't like about them. BUT I like THIS. Although they look cheap they are very strong and easy to tighten for a perfect fit and you can easily adjust them. I would compare them to these ratchet straps but they are even simpler. The only downside is that they're strictly casual, nothing out of the ordinary for them, and they have wide straps so you probably can't wear them with dress pants even if you wanted to. Manufacturers making belt buckles in this style don't know how to compare them other than they all appear to be the same size and matte plastic finish with a regular belt. But for jeans or whatever they are perfect.
