Belt looks good and looks great. But I had two problems with it: 1) it's very stretchy and 2) it was huge. By very stretchy I mean it's like an elastic, and in order to use it to actually hold up your pants you have to stretch it really, really close to what seems like the limit. I'm sure it will make a great fashion accessory, but for really holding up your pants I don't think it will work well. I've had a lot of elastics but this one is too elastic. My other issue is that I ordered XL because when I get the straps for my size (38) they seem to end halfway to the first belt loop in the pants. , dangling the end awkwardly, but this one went through the first loop and got through the second just fine. That's much, much more than I expected. Compared to the other inelastic XL belt I own, it's a full 15 cm longer. Add to that the fact that you have to stretch it and it ends up being 15 to 20 inches longer at your waist. other straps that have a leather part, an elastic part, this one is all leather at the tip and buckle but fully elastic all over the belt - looks much better.
