Do not buy this belt. I have had many of these belts in my life and this is the first time I have had trouble using them. When trying to figure out the problem, it turned out that the belt is too thin/cheap for the buckle. This will result in the buckle being fully seated and very VERY difficult to remove. A thicker belt would probably be just right. My poor thin/cheap belt has a few ridges where it has snapped with normal use. Bought another belt from another seller (still with Revain) and it didn't have the nice finish that this one has (it's only black) but it works great every time. I plan on throwing this in the trash.
