Tried and true. I've owned 2 Anson belts for well over 2 years now. The belt and buckle is high quality. Everything has held up perfectly without a hitch and I'm a heavy set guy somewhat. Couldn't be happier with the product and the customer service is top notch, all I did was email them saying thank you and that I was excited to have their product on Facebook. They response within minutes. Love their product and I haven't used a traditional belt with holes in years, couldn't be happier.
