Certainly an adequate belt for the price. Difficult to find the 1 1/4 size listed as most are in the 1 1/2 to 2 inch range. It does not have a metal tab on the open end of the strap and has a manufacturer's label on the other end. inch Because they come in preset sizes, you may have to put up with excess material or cut off the open end and melt it down to prevent fraying. Love the look of the buckle and the fact that it's plastic but a bit tricky to thread (at first). Going back but probably wouldn't buy it again.
