The all-new SlideBelt for Men, with fully adjustable buckles, simple ratchet design, and high-quality leather. (Sometimes typed as Slide Belts with a space.) What is a SlideBelt? It is a leather belt that lets you freely adjust the waist size without the limitation of holes in the leather. In fact, there are no holes at all. Patented saw-teeth are intricately sown onto the inside of our foreign leathers - providing robust durability and professionalism. These "teeth" interact with our sleek buckles by use of a small magnet, allowing over 6 inches of size variability. Different variations of our popular belts exist all throughout the world by many names- ratchet belts, holeless belts, click belts, micro-adjustable belts, and others - but in America they are known as SlideBelts.

Customer Reviews:* First, as other reviewers here, I am 100% pleased and satisfied with this belt. It is high quality, looks great, works great, plus very nicely packed by the seller, complete with a little "thank you" note upon opening!Now, a note on sizing. I had somewhat pessimistically ordered too large a size. I was on the verge of returning the belt for an exchange, when it dawned on me, due to the way this belt is constructed, it was easy to cut off a few inches of leather and make it the right size.The key to this is: the buckle hardware is independent of the belt, in fact, for the first use, you're expected to attach it yourself, very easy, with a hinged plate with sharp teeth that bite into and secure the leather. That edge of the leather is then hidden inside the buckle hardware, so doesn't need a nice, finished edge. I just carefully cut off a few inches of leather, being sure to keep a nice straight edge, reattached the buckle hardware, and voila! perfect sized belt.I doubt if the manufacturer recommends this... and it will surely void your return privileges [November 2012: please see comment] if you make a mess of it. But, if you're willing to trust your handiwork and find you ordered too large a size, this is an option. It worked well for me. * This is a great belt, high quality leather, and the buckling mechanism is VERY well constructed. It is 5-stars, the story I'm about to tell is more just about helping you have a smooth first time experience.Just a word of warning... figure out the locking/unlocking mechanism and do it a few times before you put it on.The terror when I realized I had no idea how to unlock the belt on the way to the bathroom was only topped by the terror when the belt actually tightened as I fiddled with it trying to get it to unlock. I ended up having to force my pants down and taking them off so I could examine the mechanism and get the belt to release.Since then it has been smooth sailing.pro-tip: for an easier unlock put your finger on the release mechanism pulling it away from your body with one hand, while pushing the belt just slightly in (as though you were going to try to tighten the belt.) When you do that the mechanism releases easily and you just need to keep the mechanism up while you pull the belt out.
