I am very happy with this belt. I love the buckle's minimalist, modern design with an attractive matte black finish. The blue leather is equally attractive and appears durable. I have a 36 inch waist and had no problem adjusting the belt to fit my figure. I highly recommend trimming the belt piece by piece until you're the right size, rather than guessing or trying to do the job all at once. You may need to leave the strap a little longer than normal to allow room for the ratchet strap on the back to hook the buckle. It's far better to go slow and trim more than it's too late to realize you've trimmed it too short. I'm speaking from personal experience here! Once you find the right length, the strap is very comfortable to use and you can get a truly perfect fit. I prefer this ratchet strap to the traditional look where I often switch sizes and find I'm not getting the "just right" fit. Good quality, looks and fit and I dig this strap.
