My last belt has lasted me for the past eight years but I realized it was time for its retirement after I snapped the loop off the belt and the fact the belt is no longer straight but shaped like a boomerang due to bowing in the middle from holding up my pants. I thought this belt would do the trick.

RELIABILITY
The belt is very reliable and the leather is sturdy. I feel as if it will survive the same amount of time as my last belt if not longer.

APPEARANCE
The photo shows the leather as being a roughed up grunge appearance. The belt I received was a solid brown color that is more accustomed to dress belts.

OTHER
The measurement of the belt is the length of the belt, not waist size. I recommend you order a size or two larger than what you normally would.

CONCLUSION
This belt was about half the price of other belts yet does the same job if not better than many of the other leading brands. I feel it is a sturdy leather and will last.
