this is the best belt I have. Except for another belt of the same brand, brown. Now you don't have to choose between "so tight my legs go numb" and "so loose I think my pants will fall off and all women will pass out", very durable yet stylish. It seems to be quality and I like the velcro that keeps the end of the strap in place. If I could give 6 stars I would. The downside of this belt is that you can't use it to spank your kids, but I suppose you can use it to tie them up so they don't call child protection services.
