The appearance of this belt is outstanding as is its overall quality; however, I am finding it very difficult to cinch the belt tight.  It is not possible to simply pull on the leading end to tighten the belt; I've found it necessary to go through all kinds of gyrations with the buckle to get the belt to tighten.  It seems that once it is tight it does remain so.
Over all I'm mixed in my feelings, though I do love its appearance.
