"I already owned one of these that I bought many years ago in a shop down in Fernandina Beach, Florida. I have used it SO much that the wear-and-tear of ten years had left my original dinged and scratched (10 years of life will do that to anything!). Now I have a beautiful, pristine version to wear for nice occasions (Church, weddings, etc) as well as my old 'everyday' buckle. The prong on the buckle keeps the belt securely fastened - the cutouts keep the buckle from being burdensomely heavy, and it is just the right size - doesn't dig into your belly or hip bones. A truly great belt-buckle design, field tested extensively by me. "
