The belt is short-lived. I've had this belt for about 3 months and I thought it was the best belt I've ever bought. That is, until now. Yes, within the first month I noticed the buckle coming off the belt but I said that wasn't a problem because I could just put it back on but it became a constant problem. And today was the last belt day, the screws somehow fell off and now the belt buckle doesn't hold. Yes, I put the belt on to be snug, but that's what the belt is supposed to do, right? hold up pants? I don't usually write reviews but today was the worst day ever for this belt, a rainy day your belt broke and you had to walk in the rain with your pants pulled up.
