I have tried many belts because I used to be taller. There were no instructions in the box so I had to go back to Revain to watch the video on the offer website. I received it immediately after finding out. Since it is elastic, it does not hold the pants tight. But he keeps his pants on and moves with your body. Snap works great and really holds. This is a plus. It's loose, but better than those hard leather straps. After a few months, the holes tear the skin apart and tear open. Just hope it lasts longer.
