I bought this Boston leather belt to replace my current belt which I have had for about 16 years. Being a Boston belt I was sure it would be the same quality but as soon as I opened the packaging I noticed a difference. It was thinner and tougher. Compared to my old belt which is thicker. Any material they use is now easy to mark. Pistol holster and magazine holder had deep dents after first use. To be honest I think my old belt will last longer than this lower quality new belt.
