Very comfortable and well made. I have worn my woven elastic waistband several times. I love this style of belt as it allows me to wear the belt low on my hips, around my stomach or high on my stomach and when I travel I don't have to pack different belts for every pair of pants that are different rises. A lot of pants have holes in the back, or I have dresses that look better with belts in various places. I love these belts and have most of the colors so I can match them with my outfits.
