I bought this belt as a spare.  I've had my original for about five years and it has held up very well.  I originally bought it to support an in-the-pants holster for concealed carry, but use it all the time with jeans.  It fits perfectly in the loops and is solidly built.  I wear a waist size of 31 in jeans and ordered a size 34, and it is perfect.  My original belt is a size 36 and I use the very last hole, so if I lose any weight, it won't fit me any longer.
