I have a habit of wearing thongs until they break, get badly beaten, or otherwise become unwearable. I usually wear the same thing every day to minimize what I have to think about when I get dressed in the morning. it is wonderful. It's wide enough to keep pants from riding over your belt, and it's comfortable and keeps pants secure. Nicely sewn too: the seams are strong and durable. Overall I am very happy with the belt. If you are looking for a new belt I highly recommend this one.
