My order of the Hirota Belt B-602 arrived this morning, I have to say it looks great. I added 10cm to the length of my current belt, which worked out well considering that the belt is thicker and has a bigger knot when tied, the length is about right. I went for Silver embroidery and again it looks great on the belt. The belt is a little stiff of course because it is brand new, but I'm sure it will loosen up over time. Cannot wait for training tonight :). I am happy with the belt and I am glad I went with Hirota and Kuroobiya. Just for information it took just over a month and a half from order to arrival, within the time suggested by Kuroobiya. Not much more to say other than I recommend.
