I have two favorite things about ratchet straps.1. Looks really clean. This means it will always look like a brand new belt as it has no buckle holes to stretch and wear out over time. Fully adjustable for a custom fit. So we have a stretchable waist for the pants but no belts?!?! I immediately thought of "airplane seatsβ. Plenty of food, long drive, busy day. Perfect! There are no "intermediate" hole sizes. Note: max. 44" means that with a click or two you get a convenient 44" format for more flexibility. The ratchet slots on the bottom of the strap end about 2 inches from the end. Very nice leather and color - not a fake. You have a wide range of colors and styles to choose from. My new dress belts AND are a lot cheaper than many of the retail stores I've shopped at. Obtain! Nothing to lose. Really great idea for a gift, especially to "stand up there". Too large? Cut the inner end lengthways and tuck the cut end into the back of the buckle.
