I've had this for well over a year and have used it for its intended purpose on half a dozen trips.  Additionally, I actually have worn it as my normal everyday belt countless times (well over 100 days). It shows no signs of wear and is totally fine to wear as a daily casual belt.  I won't deduct a point from the belt because it does work very well, but it would be nice to not have to tri-fold bills to insert them in the pocket.  There are other belts that allow for a simple bi-fold of the bills.  I've worn this through TSA lines with cash inside without getting a second glance from TSA.
