I have no idea how long this belt will last but I only needed it for one night (Best friends wedding).  It's made in China so it may or may not be of quality but it looks nice, held the buckle on without a problem.  I wear a size 36 pants but considering the location of the manufacturer I ordered a few sizes up just in case.  A leather belt can always be trimmed down if necessary.  But this one fit perfectly (with the extra sizing.  So just be sure to order a couple of sizes larger and you will be in great shape.
