This is a wonderful belt. My two sons aged 8 and 9 love it. I want to buy two in the sale. This is not a hard belt and there are no holes in it, you can put it anywhere on the belt which is AMAZING! It looks great with a school uniform or with jeans, in my opinion it can be dressy or casual! Both my boys wear pants that are a size 14 and they fit great and will last for years. Finding for little men :)
