interesting belt. Unlike a regular belt buckle, the strap returns to the side of the insert. So if the belt enters the buckle from the right side to the left, the belt will exit to the right (from the user's perspective) as opposed to a belt slipping to the left. The rest of the belt is tight. Unlike a conventional buckle, there is no feeling of pressure when you bend forward. feels strong I'm tired of the leather belt fraying where the clip attaches and the traditional military-style buckle coming loose due to past experience.
