I originally ordered this belt with a plastic buckle and it was awful, the belt buckle wouldn't close and even worse, it came off the belt at all. The elastic was good, but that's about it. I returned it and now I have a belt with a folding buckle and it's MUCH BETTER, it stays closed, stays on the belt and I like the elastic, it's good, super strong and has the right amount of stretch to get the job done get things done that i need while i'm still comfortable. I gave 4 stars because I wish there was some way to shorten it. The ending is too long. At the very least I wish it had a tie strap to secure the very long end where it runs midway through my waist. Other than that I'm very happy with this navy belt, I'll be working to figure out how to shorten it without it to damage. I will probably order it again in khaki and army green with the same deployment clasp. Update: After inspecting the end of the strap, it may be possible to undo the metal clip on the end, ENOUGH to take the end of the strap. a belt from it, trim it, singe it with a lighter to mend the roughness or scuffs from cutting, and then put the clip back on the end and pinch with pliers at the end of the belt - lay a washcloth on the clip Use pliers to protect it from scratches - everything is done with enough care to keep the clip in good new condition with no scratches. I'll update again once I try this with pix.
