Hello, I recently ordered 3 Grip 6 belts for family birthday gifts. The belt buckle finish is unatractive. It appears that by design you have smudged the white stripes in the buckle flag. It is done unevenly and looks like a flaw in the production. The product is not substantial so to speak and I would not recommend this product to friends. I have a couple of wratchet belts which are much more substantial and have a much more attractive American flag buckle. I heard about your product through Bill Oriely and will be writing to him concerning the product. Sumner Weeks
