I love these types of double spiked belts. I wear a lot of jeans and denim pants, so I wear these belts every day. I don't like the gap in the back that other belts have. Double prongs ensure a tight fit around the entire perimeter. For the past 25 years I've only worn them. I have them in different colors and patterns. With holes running the length of the strap, finding the right fit is easy, even if your weight fluctuates. Unfortunately between having children and. Life . My weight exceeded the capacity of my old belts, so I had to replace my collection with new, larger belts. These differ from my old ones in that they have decorative stitching around the edges. My old ones were just straps and had a piece of metal on the end of the strap. This piece of metal had a tendency to come loose and get caught in my belt loops, and one fell off completely due to webbing wear at the connection point. These new ones are better quality than my old ones. The strap is thicker and the metal parts are stronger. Because the edges are trimmed with fabric, the ends don't get caught on the belt loops when I remove the belt. They're also about half the price of my old belts. They have been rolled and wrapped in plastic coated metal to protect them from scratches in transit. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and have already bought more straps.
