I have had this belt now for 2 months; I particularly like how it is vegan and no animals were hurt in its production. I like the solid buckle with the sliding notches as oppose to the flipping type which can cut your shirt like scissors if it gets caught in its path while flipping it close. The belt is made of a heavy canvas which I believe will last forever compared to leather which tends to stretch over time. I do have one discontention: when I bend down and it gets stretched the buckle comes undone. This can be troublesome when you are on the go and cannot pull it back into position. Although it is not a big deal it is just something to make note of before purchasing this belt.
