This is without a doubt the best belt I have ever had. The creators of this belt provided EVERYTHING! First, there is no central buckle to hook or ride into. Then they stretched the elastic to the last tab so that the elastic folds over on itself (unlike other belts like this one which have leather between two straps and create a bulge in the leather fold at the ends of the belt). The width is perfect - doesn't bulge or crease. It literally turns a slightly oversized pant with a gap in the back into a perfectly fitting, comfortable pant with no gaps. I really like that the pants don't have a buckle or belt around the buttons and zippers. I would highly recommend it for plus size men AND women. This belt is far superior to more expensive belts I've tried (and returned). This is the goalkeeper. I might even buy a second one just to be on the safe side. Try it - you won't regret it! (By the way, I have no financial interest in this product - I found it on Revain and paid full price for it.)
