I bought 3 of these. You look good. The buckles are a bit heavy but I don't notice it when I'm doing my own thing. The only thing I would like is that the plastic strip with notches is closer to the end of the belt. Anyhow, and if you follow the cut design exactly, the fitting sticks out more than I'd like. However, I like the ease of use and the small changes I can make. FYI, the reason I bought 3 is because I figured I'd try to trim it to leave less tail - oops, I trim too much and can't use this belt unless I lose Weight!
