I was hesitant to purchase a stretchy belt but this one has definitely exceeded my expectations. Through trial and error I found that this belt had the right amount of elasticity to fit comfortably and keep my pants in place .The design is sleek and perfect for any casual or dressy occasion. The only con I've noticed is that the buckle can be a bit difficult to adjust at times. Overall, this belt is a great addition to any man's fashion collection..
