I had to come find this post to tell you. The belt cinched it for me…lol. When I saw the shell belt buckle I knew. Nice find." @u/ClassicPalpitation52 responded "Oh wow thank you! I didn't even know that this has a shell when I picked it up when I saw Zimmerman. I just picked it up, lol." Meanwhile, @u/Grouchy_Swordfish_73 summed up the sentiment, saying, "Gorgeous."
