I use this as a nice stiff belt for my work jeans. Instead of money I put a key in the center of my back. Should I be working out of town and somehow lock my keys in the truck, I won't have to call someone to bring me a key. As long as I have my work pants on
I'll always have a spare truck key conveniently and comfortably at hand.
This comes from China and there is an odor that may be part tanning/leather/mold odor but a little spritz and scrub of vinegar, storage in a bag with crumpled newspaper for a few days helped. Hey it's a work belt.
