I was in need of a black belt and recently got a brown one similar to how this belt adjusted length (for as I loose weight) and adjust the belt buckle, so decided to give this black one a try. I come away thrilled with how it looks, feels, and works.Pros:* It arrives in a nice box, well wrapped for protection and presentation. This makes it a great gift for yourself or someone else.* Unwrapping you’ll find a handsome belt - both the leather and buckle* I love the look overall - it’s sharp* The belt is adjustable - you can cut it to a shorter length when/if desired, making it a versatile belt if like me, you’re loosing weight.* I love the way this kind of belt adjusts - there are little "grooves’ it clips into allowing for a more subtle adjustment range beyond what the holes of a regular belt allow for - I love being able to adjust like this. Plus releasing is very easy. ** In this case the release is from underneath, rather than pulling the buckle outward you pull it from inside or under the buckle. Took awhile to figure this out and do it rightCons:* The only con I can come up with is this difference in how to release the belt - under rather than over. it took some time to figure out, but once I had it, all was/is good.Overall this is a handsome belt. I love the look, feel, and way it wears. And I love the method of subtle adjustment. I am so happy I gave this belt a try.
