I am a former police officer, now I work in security. However, I appreciate the crisp look and good fit of my uniform shirts. It's way better than other shirt clips and elastics I've tried. Bending is not an issue with either assembly or portability and will keep your shirt secure all day long. Even if there are a few things to consider. Belt. So unless you're wearing this a little below your usual waist or just aren't concerned about how little harm it does, you might want to consider another product. In terms of size and comfort, the buckle increases the waist slightly and can make your pants feel a bit tight depending on how tight you wear your pants. But if the waist of your pants is at least one size larger than you normally wear, then you're fine. You may also need to adjust how tight you wear the inner and work straps. I have a 31" waist and the 1.5x40 fits well as it is adjustable and most of the band is a thin velcro that sticks. However, I can't comment on how much the stretch range stretches for those over the recommended size. To address some of the issues I've seen with tucking shirts, I'd like to say that as long as your shirts have some sort of warp and you can fold the sides under your arms, you can still adjust how tight it looks and feels front and back.
