The design of this belt fascinated me and I bought it for everyday use. I didn't bother much with him from the beginning as he is elastic. The elastic stretched throughout the day, requiring regular tightening. Although it was annoying, at least it still worked like a belt. However, almost exactly three months after I first used it, the tape unraveled in the area shown in the photo, rendering it completely unusable. I'm hoping to at least salvage the buckle and use it on full grain leather. Belt.
