I have been using these elastic bands for over 10 years and have always had to travel over 70 miles at a large flea market to find them so I am very happy to receive them to have. on Revain at a price competitive with a flea market vendor. Now that the virus is preventing me from getting close to people, I now have a belt that I love. These straps are so flexible and adjustable that you can tighten or loosen them a bit as needed, unlike a regular leather strap which requires readjustment of the entire strap opening which can be adjusted up to an inch. I recommend this belt to all men and women.
