SO GLAD MY HUSBAND PURCHASED THIS BELT!! This is a GREAT belt. He actually love the thing. I was beginning to get a little frustrated constantly telling him to pull up his pants. He thinks it's so fancy. Since you don't have to worry about any holes in it , I think it will last much longer. Especially when weight goes up and down. No need to poke any holes because the buckle has it's own stopper and you can go as tight or as lose as you need. Cool belt.
