The belt is very valuable and stable. The almost continuous closure and the "standard length" attitude by cutting I find ideal. The buckle is also very stable and easy to use. I already had similar models in which the lever after a while simply broke off and the belt was no longer open. This keeps for months by properly. Unfortunately, the leather is extremely thick and stiff and therefore fits with difficulty through the loops of the pants, so 1 star deduction. Nevertheless, I would buy it again.
