I love that the buckle on this belt is truly flat - nothing make a lump under my shirt.  The only issue I have had so far (and I'm sure it's because of the shape of my gut) is that the buckle slides above my pants button in front.  But at least my pants aren't falling down!  I am curious to see if the buckle mechanism holds up or if/when it will snap off.  5 weeks so far, and it's good.
