I bought one of these on sale elsewhere and was so impressed I had to find a black one. As far as I can tell they are no longer made. So if you're thinking of buying them, don't wait too long. This belt is of the highest quality and you'll never know it has a stretch feature. Some belts with elastic look terrible, but with them the area of stretch is hidden by a tab that looks like a regular part of the belt style. If not the best belt I've ever owned, then definitely one of the best. It's very comfortable while still providing support to keep your pants in place. I spend a lot of time sitting, so traditional non-stretch straps can feel like they're cutting me in half, but this harness flexes enough to put an end to that. I'm not overweight, big or small, this belt offers you comfort, quality and looks at the same time. It seems strange to continue the story about the belt but I am very happy with the two I bought.
