Using this belt is a breeze. Simply insert the belt through the buckle and adjust it to your desired tightness. The automatic buckle will keep it secure. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt regularly. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture, such as rain or sweat for long periods, as this can damage the leather. Also, keep it away from sharp objects to prevent scratches. Store it in the provided dust bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
