I've owned this belt nearly 2 months now and I am extremely disappointed.  After the first week, the hole I used started stretching upward.  It was an awkward looking hole after that that made it very difficult to take off the belt because it snagged on every belt loop on my pants.  After another week I noticed some tearing and that the belt was starting to leave a hard lump on my stomach where the metal clasp thing was snagging my skin when I sat down.  That one I will say is because of my weight, even though I've never had a belt do that before.

Anyways, here I am after less than 2 months wearing the belt and the hole is completely ripped.  I honestly have never had a belt do this before, and I can't see how such a thick leather is able to rip so easily unless it's either not true leather or there is some serious material issue here.

I will be contacting Amazon to see about either a refund or something else to replace it.
