A nylon strap is secured at a fixed end to the leather belt proximate the second end thereof, and the free end of the strap is wound over the rollers of the first and second metal loops to form a pulley arrangement for drawing the ends of the leather belt together. First and second complementary fastening surfaces are secured to the free end of the strap and to the leather belt, respectively, for removably attaching the free end of the strap to the leather belt after the belt has been sufficiently tightened.
