The craftsmanship, strength and durability of this belt combine to make it an excellent choice for those who use the belt for more than just decoration. I have found that despite the very stiff construction, due to the full thickness of the leather of the strap, the strap does not roll up when seated. I often carry a variety of tools on my belt, from radios to tool kits to a large cell phone (sometimes I feel like Batman!) as this belt can carry a lot of weight without causing nerve damage to my body.
