I bought these to wear UNDER my shirt and hold up my pants. I bought them because the other pairs I have are 1.5 to 2 inches wide and during the summer they make me sweat and are very uncomfortable. The thin size of these, coupled with the lack of a huge leather patch in the back makes these good for summer - and sturdy enough to hold up my pants.
So why the two stars and "meh" title? TOO narrow. They flip and twist constantly. And the metal ends are sharp as hell. After a full day, I have holes in my skin. Wrapped them in surgical tape to reduce that but nothing will hold the straps straight. Trying 3/4" next...
