Claim:
A belt with closure comprising: a closure body; an elongated belt having a first end connected to the closure body and a second free end operable for removable connection to the closure body; the belt defining a plurality of belt holes proximate the free end; the closure body defining an inlet slot for receiving the free end of the belt; the closure body comprising a frame and a retention element attached to the frame; the retention element being fixed to the frame, such that the retention element does not move with respect to the frame; the retention element being sized to occupy a corresponding one of the belt holes when the free end is inserted into the inlet slot; and the closure body having a release element operable to move between a retention position and a releasing position, and whereby moving the release element to the releasing position deflects a portion of the free end of the belt to disengage the hole from the retention element, enabling extraction of the free end from the closure body.
