Wanted to wait a bit before posting a review on this belt, I was very satisfied out of the box and just had my original out of the box feeling. I only use one belt for everything: dressing, working, housework. Suffice to say I've been wearing this belt every day since I bought it about 5 weeks ago. So far I am COMPLETELY satisfied. As a proud vegan I was looking for a belt to buy having had one for over 10 years (yes it was leather I've been a conscious vegan for 3.5 years?) when my belt fell apart, I have plenty researched online to find out which vegan belt would work best for my needs; A higher quality everyday belt that I can wear to work as well as around the house. I chose Truth Belts based on what I've read and went with Slug in its widest version. After 5 or 6 weeks from the date of purchase, it is very well "run in", looks like new even after constant use and is of impeccable quality. There are no complaints at all about quality and cost. IMHO it's worth it and based on my experience I'll probably be buying a second and third belt for the first time in my adult life in the near future. A highly recommended product, vegan or not, the quality of this belt definitely feels better in my opinion and offers a longer lifespan, especially with regular use, than a traditional leather belt. THANK YOU Truth Belts for offering such a great product to help save our animal friends! We hope that your business will continue to grow to offer more and more products of the same quality.
