I was "middle-aged" for many years, and when it started to gain some weight, it became necessary for me to loosen the seat belt when sitting and tighten it when standing up (like the father in "Everybody Loves"). Raymond did). These woven straps, which can be attached anywhere along the length, are ideal for quick attachments in either direction. I like that. The look is casual, which works great because I'm into casual style.
