This belt looks and feels even more premium than it looks in the photos. I was hesitant that the clasp on this was going to be gimmicky or hard to use, but it wasn't. It has these built in teeth/ridges that are hidden on the inside of the belt, so you just put the belt on, and it automatically locks into place to whatever size you pull it to. So you can really fine-tune how tight you want the belt as opposed to conventional holes that are 2-inchs apart on a normal belt.Then there's a quick release knob that's also very hidden, but accessible, and it just comes right off. It's actually easier than a normal belt and you can fine-tune the size for those "just after dinner" days.And the buckle part (carbon fiber) is really expensive-looking, but it's not glaring and obnoxious. I'm so thoroughly impressed that I think I want to have 2 or 3 of these.It comes in a really nice box too, so perfect for a gift because it looks so fancy.
