Based on my experience, these belts are a waste of money .While they may look stylish and come with a convenient click ratchet system, the genuine leather is not up to par. Within a few uses, the belts began to fray and peel, ultimately ruining a put-together outfit. The only pro is the ease of use with the ratchet system. The cons outweigh any potential benefits and I would not recommend them to anyone looking for a quality men`s accessory..
