After trying TAAAAAAO many belts, this belt solved everything. It allows you to grow up to size 36 as you gain weight and also allows you to lose weight. The leather is thick and very high quality. The style is fantastic. The price is more than I want to pay for a very complicated belt buying process. But after struggling to find a belt I liked, I was happy to pay what I paid for this one. Save time and hassle - find the style you like from this brand and never wander around.
