C125 refers to the belt model, Clinch 1.25 The tip cuts make sense to me. You can either go rounded, have a point, or go with a taper. The image changes based on which one you choose. They have a sizing guide on the product page where they use your old belt as a base for measurement. As for point number one, I feel like that's a matter of preference, specifically because fashion is subjective. I mean, I agree with the sentiment of your comment, specifically they could definitely do more user friendly things, but I figure most of their customers are into bespoke products and are okay with doing research on their own or are informed.

"Clinch 1.25" means something to the website owners and to their more dedicated customers. I'm not that person though- I just clicked on a picture of a belt on their homepage, so "C125" is a random string to me. Is "C125" the thing I want to order or the opposite of that thing? I forget. I also wouldn't know they have a sizing guide on their homepage, because I'm on their checkout page already. I know that sounds silly (and pretty much incompetent of me as a buyer), but there are a lot of eComm sites, a lot of places to buy belts, and busy lives for customers. You either hold the customer's hand through checkout, or you bleed abandoned carts. I found a comment online that goes: > Tapered > - easier grip to pull/cinch the belt > - easier to get through the loop Rounded > - 5" less excess going through the loop. > - great if you are sharing belts (if the smaller person is wearing the belt in its tightest setting, they won't have the excess talked about in first bullet point) Little notes like this would go a long way during the checkout process.

  The image on this page updates with the colour and tip cut as the user chooses the option: https://simpleleatherbelt.com/product/belt-cinch-1-25/ https://simpleleatherbelt.com/product/belt-cinch-1-25/ I personally thought that the tip cut might have been more of an aesthetic preference than one of practicality.
