I put on a few pounds and needed a new belt. I went to Amazon and looked for a good quality reversible one. I found this belt and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Unfortunately, I went to work the next morning and, surprise, the metal detector went off. I don't know why I did not think of it when looking for a belt. I will keep the belt...but note that it will set off a metal detector. Outside of work, it is equally comfortable and fashionable to wear.
