I wish all men wore suspenders. i hate belts For men with a large round stomach, belts are very uncomfortable and cause back pain. This belt did not fulfill its main function: to hold the pants! I wore this belt once. My pants slowly slipped down as I walked. That doesn't happen with my normal belts. Second, the waistband is too thick and a bit wide for a typical men's pant. I had to work hard to get through the loops. In addition, the leather surface began to tear near the belt holes within 1 hour of wearing. I will probably send the belt back or give it away. I wish they made more belts with hidden elastic in the belt. I saw one at a local clothing store but it was a large high belt that didn't fit me.
