This is one of four belts my son used with his school uniforms. Starting out a new school year with 4 new belts, with this belt being used in rotation with all the others, it fell apart first. It is a good looking belt but the leather seems like it has dry rot. Old leather is dry and breaks easily. Its a shame the quality is lacking for a brand thats typically produces well made accessories. It was worn one week per month for 4-5 months before it fell apart. Thats a total of 20-25 days use before it imploded. We won't purchase any more Tommy Hilfiger accessories in case this is a trend toward poor workmanship and inferior leather.
