I had just bought Carhartt Jeans, best purchase ever. I bought the belt one size larger than the jeans, figuring I would be able to use a little more than the last hole on the end. Well I can get it just into the last hole, so sizing is a little bit on the small side. Next, figuring Carhartt, I thought leather, Well, its a nice belt, don't get me wrong, but does not appear to be leather. I have not had good luck with synthetic belts lasting. However, I will put this to the test, after all, it is a Carhartt. I may have an update later
