I wore the "Proper Nylon Belt" with a plastic buckle, but found the thick plastic buckle a bit uncomfortable. Made from nylon webbing with a metal buckle, this Mile High Life belt still feels far more comfortable, and while the buckle takes a little getting used to, it's actually easier to undo than threading the belt through a real belt. It comes with two straps for extra strap length, neither of which match the green color of the strap, so I'm just putting them aside maybe another time. The green nylon strap is also quite shiny, but that's not too bad either.
