I got this belt because I can't find a belt in any department store that fits me so I tried this size s. I had this belt for about 3 months and noticed that the paint (color) was starting to come off. as you can see in the picture I uploaded. Even though it is a reversible belt, the side facing in has a lot of creases that will look ugly if you wear it on the outside. It's definitely a very poorly made belt I had, it's not as strong as a regular leather belt.
