Folks, this is a heavy duty belt indeed. I was looking for something that would prevent the waistband of my jeans from buckling over my belt. not that I'm fat or anything. This product makes it possible! It probably won't fit in your chinos, that's not really what it's designed for. a fine belt like mine and I have several Trafalgars. Again no belt with the dress, but with jeans a bargain at twice the price.

I needed a 1 3/4" belt to fit the pant loops. The wide belt prevented the top of the pant from rolling through the belt like narrower belts do .

Well after wearing this belt for a little over a year I am very disappointed. I can take this strap and use my thumb and forefinger to roll the edges of the strap in or out until they touch the opposite side (see image). Very weak and does not properly support firearms due to the need to constantly adjust the holster as the strap is too soft and pliable.

This belt was EXPENSIVE and looked good. I bought a 50 inch model but found it a bit durable so I bought another one for 46 and after a couple of weeks I had to punch holes in it because it was stretching. At around $50 for a strap, I wasn't expecting this.
