I ordered two of these. Within a few days, one of them began splitting on the brown side. Then the other one began to split also on the brown side. Turned them over and within a couple weeks the black sides was also splitting. These are not solid belts, they are leather with a very very thin polished leather covering which cracks, tears and splits after only a few uses. About a month after purchase, one of the buckle units tore loose from the belt. Now I'm waiting for the other to do the same. These are very poorly made and not worth a cent.
