The belt was very nice and good buckle. I ordered an "imperfect" Ninja belt not quite knowing the imperfection and so after I saw the imperfection I received an Authroization for Return. I am still waiting for a refund to my credit card. In my case, the imperfect was obvious when I opened the belt package. The belt had been previously tried and the belt was cut shorter and trimmed with a angle cut at the end of the belt. It turned out that the trimming of the belt (the imperfection) made the belt too short to go around me and provide enough tail to go theough the slot and maintin a snug fit. This is a problem when ordering the imperfect belts and should be noted that it is a short belt. Otherwise I like the buckle and belt and belt material but not knowing the issue of what was "imperfect" (that was offered at a nice discounted price) made it impossible to wear.
