I use this belt as a dress belt simply because it is smaller in width and weight than a 1 3/8" wide belt. slightly closer to the open end of the belt. This would allow for greater flexibility of use and it would also allow more strap to be cut reducing the amount of excess strap left after closure Overall this is the very best belt of its kind and I have purchased many of these belts and their associated ratchet buckles .
