As a fat man, it's hard to find a belt that stays like new even after constant use. Since I have to pull on one side of the belt, the belt will rub against the buckle and twist, or begin to fall apart at tears, or the holes will stretch, anyway most belts just look crappy after overusing them because of my fatness . While not very fancy, this belt holds up great and is very easy to put on without having to look for a hole. Five stars because it works exactly as it should, but I wish it was nicer.
