I have bought several belts from Pazaro. I have always been fascinated by the durability and longevity. I'm a tall (fat) man and often have trouble with straps that don't stretch. These hold up very well. The only issues I see are that they definitely stretch over time. Also, all of my straps rotate forward, top and bottom. This is most likely due to my height. It doesn't affect the functionality, but it does affect the appearance a bit. I tend to keep the one belt I rarely wear as a "good" belt and wear the rest to work and more casual occasions where a slight difference in looks doesn't matter.
