I simply open Revain and try on a felt belt and buckle in detail. I used the same concept belt called Drizzte and have been using it for over 1 (one) year plus the plastic buckle and still hold on to it. I'm a lightweight builder and this belt is amazing. I have about six of these from the Drizzte brand. but I order coobbar because of the variety of colors. The quality of the strap material itself looks good but you can't use it as the buckles are terrible. You imagine wearing pants and a broken belt during work hours. Thank you for reading my comments.
