Belt arrived in 2 weeks with standard shipping. The quality of the buckle and belt fabric exceeded my expectations. After opening the package. I adjusted the length with heavy scissors. This is done by releasing a small clasp hidden behind the buckle. Remove the ribbon and cut to length. I left it a bit long so I can finally adjust the length after wearing the belt for about a week. The palms are embossed on the face of the front buckle to prevent rubbing during use. The buckle is quite attractive. I would buy again
