First of all, this is my unbiased, unfounded, and relatively short-term review of this belt. I paid for it with my own funds and received no compensation. I received the belt and it looked and worked great FOR A LIMITED TIME. Now, 4 months later, the locking mechanism is broken beyond repair! Given the cost and claims, it should have taken longer. My cheap leather belts have lasted longer than this one! I didn't even wear it every day, maybe once a week, so it's even worse. Save money and don't worry, the belt looks good, the color looks good, but that's about it. Are you looking for something different! - EW
