How to Use Your Belt: Insertion: Slide the end of the belt through the loops on your pants, starting from the left side and moving to the right, until the buckle is at the front. Adjustment: With the Tonywell ratchet belt, insert the tip of the belt into the sliding buckle. As you pull it through, the belt will catch on the ratchet system, allowing you to adjust it to the precise fit. Locking: Continue to slide the belt through the buckle until you've reached your desired comfort. The ratchet will automatically engage at 1/4" increments, securing the belt in place. Releasing: When you need to take off the belt, simply lift the release lever on the bottom side of the buckle, and the ratchet system will free the belt, allowing you to smoothly pull it open. Remember, if the belt is too long, you can trim it from the buckle end to your desired length using a pair of scissors, and then reattach the buckle. Enjoy the perfect blend of function, comfort, and style with every wear!
