I have several ratchet belts but they are all narrower than the "dress belt". This product listing is difficult to navigate as it is a cross between dress belts and jeans. The wider denim belt only has a few types of buckles, so make sure you have the right width. The strap looks good and the ratchet works well although it is more difficult to untie than other ratchet straps I have. You have to pull on the free end to release some tension. I've noticed that although I'm using a size 40 strap and ordered a size 40/42, it's really too short and only catches the first few ratchets. If I order again, I would take the next larger size. I'm a little confused that this is necessary as all my ratchet straps so far have come with a one size long strap that can be cut to size.
