I bought this belt at the end of July and it started wearing out at my most common notch sometime in November I would say? And other pieces of leather that were woven/woven were already torn by this time. Now, in January, the notch is almost completely worn out and is about to break. I had a Dickies belt that lasted a few years and was cheaper than this one that didn't even last a year. Disappointing as the burgundy color looks very pretty
