This type of belt works well if you understand that the buckle doesn't go through most loops. A good solution is to have a pair of these and leave them on the pants you usually wear if you wear them more than once. Plus, the ease of unbuttoning your pants multiple times a day to do business more than makes up for the time it takes to get dressed. Another good trick is to cut the strap (melt the end along with the lighter) so the rest goes through the first loop when it's plugged back in.
