I was excited about the purchase of 2 new belts and buckles. They look good but my first hint something was off came when I had to cut the belt to length. I am quite capable of doing this but thought it odd I would have to do this myself rather than buy it to size. I cut the fist one per instructions but after trying to get it tight I discovered it was a little bit short of what I wanted. Great I now own a new, not inexpensive belt I don’t like. I cut the second belt longer but I still find getting it tight is very difficult pulling the tail underneath the belt. Be forewarned the belts are wide and stiff and difficult to get it through the loops of my pants. Threading the buckle and trying to manipulate the buckle while attempting to pull the tail far enough to get it tight is real hassle. Two notes of caution. 1. Buy it with lots of webbing to work with and cut it long then shorten it after wearing it for awhile. 2. Buy the narrow one if your pant loops are small.
