I've been looking for a ratchet belt for jeans for a long time and here it is! Great belt! The only downside is that the buckle design leaves small indentations on the belt after wearing. Other belts I have for dress pants have the same "fake open buckle" look, but don't. Apart from that, the strap is of excellent quality as is the buckle. Goes perfectly with jeans and dare I say comparable to the ratchetless CK belt I've had for 15 years.
