Edit: As I mentioned in my review, I ended up cutting the belt shorter than I should have. I mentioned this to the company and they sent an entire new belt for free! It's great that they cover mistakes like this.This is my second belt from these folks and I love them both. I'll never go back to standard belts after using ratchet belts. This one has soft leather - it's not stiff. I didn't have any problems with the ratcheting mechanism slipping like someone else mentioned, but I also don't hang gear from my belt. I like the look of the leather and the buckle especially. The only thing I think should be changed about this is that the ratcheting strip should continue farther toward the end of the belt. As it is, you have to feed about 4" of the belt through before it starts ratcheting. It should be more like 3" or 2.5". I recommend cutting the belt a little longer than you expect and then trying it out a couple of times before shortening it any further. I ended up with an amount of "tail" that looks good, but it means I only get one or two ratchets in before it's at the right size. Thicker pants might mean I can't buckle it at all. Thankfully, the company will send you a free replacement if you accidentally cut it too short if you email and ask. Oh, I also wish there were some higher quality brown leather belts available - I'd pay more for the nicer leather.

Being able to just chop off a little every time I lose an inch off my waist is so nice! I didn't think a ratcheting belt would be my thing, but now I am looking for another one!

Received what was ordered and ahead of scheduled time

Really nice belt with ratcheting buckle.Belt is leather and it comes with sizes marked where you can cut to your size. I will buy again when the belt wears out.

I had to trim down the belt but it's pretty easy and the belt fits perfectly and I can loosen or tighten ever so slightly as I see fit. And the belt buckles looks great as well. Highly recommend!!

Me gusto por ser muy buen producto, fácil de usar y excelente diseño va con todo tipo de ropa!

Great for those who's waist line fluctuates a bit. You can slide the belt through the buckle to get an exact fit. If you're on a diet and thinning your wasteline, you won't need to find a way to punch new holes in the belt. You just slide it in a bit further and the rachet mechanism locks it in place. Takes a little practice to get the belt to maneuver through the mechanism but you get the hang of it after a short while.

Decent quality for the price and convince.

There are two different ratcheting belt technologies. I hate the style if there is a button or lever on the bottom of the belt that can be tricky to get into release mode. I love the style where you lift up / out the face of the buckle itself. I have four of this technology and have returned any gifts of the other style. Look on the bottom of the buckle, if there is something that is not onthe top, dont buy it. Best part of Ratchet belts is that ther is no visible wear where holes would come through on standard belts.

I've had a few different ratchet belts but this is the best version! love how easy it is to open the buckle or release the belt! Looks great too says it real Leather too ( don't know if its true but seems to be) this is the second belt I bought! They are great
