Just received so can't comment on durability but the leather is very soft and the strap is pliable. Size recommendation is current. I didn't notice the belt in the pictures, but the "belt protector" loop is noticeably lighter than the belt itself, but everything else I love about it so much I'll put my OCD aside and embrace it. Overall I am very happy that I bought this belt and I will buy again from this seller.
