This is the best belt I've ever had. Unlike my wife, I have no hips and my pants tend to fall down (especially at airport security!). I have had many belts in my 60+ years and wish I had found this one a long time ago. He is very fat and strong. High quality leather. I really like the metal buckle and the lace. I'm constantly working outside in the garden and in the woods, bending over and finally my pants stay in place, plus it helps my back. Absolutely fantastic and worth every penny. My grandson will probably continue to use it long after I'm done with it. I highly recommend it.
