As a veteran of many years traveling in Asia, I've learned to describe many products from this region as 'good but not quite right'. " ". As we have returned various products to family and friends over the years, we laughingly called many of those items "come from the country, not quite right". That's how it is with this belt. I have worn many since receiving it however the buckle is on the wrong side and cannot be changed. Still, they keep my work pants in place even though they don't fit quite right.
