Love these straps - this is my 4th. I alternate 4 straps and these are pretty much the only straps I wear. Good, heavy, durable leather with a reinforcement strip on the back over the holes. The reel is also a very nice feature and works well - no hanging/sticking. I wear and occasionally still wear a belt that I bought in the late 60's. For the last 20 years I've been looking for something similar to take his place and these belts are as close as I've ever come. One odd thing is that there is a 1 - 1 1/2 inch difference in overall length between the 4. The length from the end of the buckle (stud) to the first (the smallest at the waist) hole is exactly the same. The hole has plenty of protrusion to tuck belt loops and jeans into even the shortest. So overall length doesn't matter, I'm just curious.
