I've had this belt in brown for a few months now and have just ordered another in black. It stands up to daily wear as well as a decent belt should.

One word of warning, though. The sizes run big. I usually buy size 48 (sometimes 50) but had to return the first one and get a 46. Even then, a 44 would have worked unless I gained weight again.

If you are between sizes, definitely go for the lower. If on target, drop down one.
