What can I say, it's a belt. If you want a timeless and fashionable belt that is also sturdy, you cannot go wrong with this purchase. On one occasion, I was forced to remove my belt and use it as a connector between two heavy objects and STILL it hasn't warped, nor does it look like it will. My one complaint, it would seem that the leather was painted and not dyed as the edges are beginning to chip, but that's not an issue for me as seeing that area of the belt is impossible. If it really came down to it, I could take a sharpie marker and redo the edges.
