This seems to be a very good belt. I was looking for one that was 1 1/2" wide and this one is. As others have said, it really doesn't stretch much and locks quite well. It is also very easy to shorten. Just remember to do it at the buckle and not at the metal end.
After wearing this belt for over 2 weeks, I've changed my opinion somewhat. It DOES stretch quite a bit. I constantly have to tighten it because it is looser than when I first put it on.
