It's not clear why metal rivets are held to the skin with easy-to-bend metal tabs. It kind of got me depressed because I was thinking about how to fit the belt and flexing that in the end the metal leaves of the rivets would work and then they would fall out. In general, you should order one size larger than usual, as the sizes are smaller. I knew it was faux leather and it didn't bother me, faux leather can stay together for a good time although it looks worse but it will. The lugs left me a little disappointed with how easy they were to pull, flattened because they are hollow and really flexible, being held against the skin by flexible thin metal valves. But I think I should have known. Sometimes cheap things can be made well to really serve you but not of good quality.
