The outside of the belt is the loop side of velcro. So on the cod pieces I stuck the hook sides so it actually sticks.. so the belt is basically a substitute for velcro on the flight suit. You can adjust it tightly. I'd just be careful you dont pull too hard, and give a warning to anyone helping you

As of now only one of the studs are functional so I can get in and out of the belt. I tried putting velcro on the top of the kidney that tucks under the cod so it sticks shut, but I might need to make both functional or possibly a snap on that side if I can't get it to sit flat. I'd put the end of the belt towards the very left side of the cod so you can just slip in and out instead of removing pieces. I need to mess with mine a little more to get it perfect but its coming along.
