I remember belts like this when when I was in junior high. Found these on Amazon and had to get one for my son (10 y/o). He loves it. It is easy to buckle and unbuckle. He is able to get it through his belt loops on his own, however it is a tight fit, so it takes him a little longer than his other belts. Now we will be ordering one for each of his friends as gifts, and he also wants to get one for his grandpa :) Good thing they come in sooo many colors/themes/brands.... It is easily adjustable to a huge range of sizes. I can see this fitting him through high school at least, (but I'm sure he will outgrow the print before he outgrows the belt).
