I liked the fact that the leather is very good, strong and abrasion resistant. Although I thought the strap was such that it could be permanently adjusted between 28" and 48", it is not true, adjusting to smaller sizes requires trimming the overall length of the strap. So once I get him to 30" I don't t I can increase the size. Go back to 32" more so allow enough room/tolerance from your actual waist size.
