This is the most substantial belt I've found. The double layer of webbing makes it stiff enough to avoid rolling over under the stress of a beer belly, and it makes a secure mount for my cell phone's case clip. Hook and loop material keeps the end tucked nicely. The 1-1/2" width fits all my belt loops fine. Biggest drawback is that the large is a little too large and its design keeps it from working with a smaller waist size. I sent the large back and exchanged for a medium. The exchange went fine. The medium is just barely long enough--I wear 38" waist jeans and I can make the medium work so I'm sticking with it.
