Great belt while it worked and I am writing this in Feb 2018. You buy a belt because of the name and the quality. I don't buy belts very often because the expectation is leather belts last for years. This lasted 17 months. I am not hard on belts because i do alternate types and belts depending on what Im wearing, but when I went to put this belt on the other day I noticed it gave a little more than usual. Come to find that the inside the buckle mount where there are two holes punched to attach the  buckle one of the leather holes had ripped and the post pulled through. Looking at the placement of the hole punched in the leather I can see why. It is very close to the end of the leather and not far enough down the belt to create a stronger hold. I buy Nautica for the name and quality but this belt did not hold up to the standard. If the Seller would like reach me please feel free.
