I've had this particular strap for 10 years and only replaced it because it was starting to look 'regularly used'. After 3 months, one fine day, the metal pin that secures the belt broke off. in the public. Seems they've started making bolts out of cast iron or some other unsuitable but hopelessly cheap material. It's a shame the Dickies used to make solid workwear, but they seem to have succumbed to "Walmart's disease". I've been having other issues with her clothing lately and have come to the conclusion that it's time to stop buying from her brand.
