Bought this belt for my grandson who has to wear a belt to school and hated it. He's not chubby, but he's not slim either, and wide leather straps slice into his lower abdomen. He takes off his belt as soon as he leaves school and sometimes he is left somewhere else instead of at home. This belt is thin and has enough elasticity to move with it. So it doesn't bind or cut into his skin all day. Also, there are no belt holes! He can decide where to attach his belt where it suits him. It is therefore a custom-made product. Cons: the rest of the excess belt might want to hang up, but I've shown him how to double thread it or how to put it on top and bottom, which is normal because he's wearing a shirt over pants. Conclusion: super happy ten year old, waist 34.
