I feel cheated. Rotted after a week of use. I bought 3 of these all around the same time and now it seems like a matter of time before the others break as well as they are all deformed the same way. 16 months of light use with business casual wear = "real leather" tears. Now I'm out of warranty and the belt broke. I've had $20 belts that still hold up to the same amount of wear and tear. I'm athletic and in good shape, but this belt immediately turned into a belt in the shape of a grandfather. Incredibly frustrating. I will not buy again.
