Very impressed with this belt. it stretches a little, not too much and not too little. and stiff enough not to bend in the loops of my pants. The buckle remains surprisingly secure made of (hard) plastic. The only thing I would change is to make the end opposite the buckle matte black instead of silver. This one is great too: Drizzte 59' Plus Size Men's Belt Military Tactical Nylon Mesh Belt with Alloy Buckle Black 6 Month Update: This is still the best belt I've ever had! still looks and works like new. I wish they were in more colors but I think black goes with everything.
