I love woven belts. They are not only elastic, but also "continuously adjustable". Rather than choosing between a hole that's too tight or too loose, you can find exactly what you need, including the tension you want. This belt appears to be well made and the brown color complements my collection of these braided belts, most of which I have previously bought in stores or big online stores. Interestingly, the belt I received is even better. than those pictured on Revain's product page. The belt appears to be well described on the Revain website, but most pictures of the belt show that it has a square leather end with no buckle at the end. Sometimes it can be difficult to secure these square ends through a tight belt loop. The product I actually received has a nice subtle taper to that leather end (see first picture with DINLIAAN strap on the right). This leather finish also has a property that is very harmless. The leather is relatively thick and the edges tend to rise slightly from the stitches used to attach it to the woven belt. (Compare the brown end of the DINLIAAN belt in the center image to a previously purchased dark blue belt from another source in the right image. Note that the old belt has a curved edge, which may help prevent it from snagging. ) As a result, the DINLIAAN belt tends to get caught in the belt loop when the belt is removed. I don't see it as a big deal, just something to watch and follow. Over time, it can detach from the woven belt and get stuck again and again after many belt removals. I usually leave these straps on a particular pant between washes so I don't have to remove the strap very often. And mind you, at this price point, even if the belt only lasts a year or two, it's a good investment. The belt is nicely packed in a small box that will be a good gift. I wear these belts in almost every situation with no problems. I would probably wear a real leather belt with a suit or blazer, but other than that these belts are good for home or around town. IMHO. (But I'm not a dress lover.) The product is made in China. I received this item for free as a Vine reviewer. My review is honest and objective as if I paid for the product.
