I have worn this belt 2 times. The strap is very thin and will stretch a little. It felt like it wouldn't last very long. I didn't expect the buckle to be the part that would fail. On the second wear it literally fell apart into 4 pieces when I tightened the strap. All the parts fall on the floor and I'm in the middle of a 12 hour shift. Makes me question the quality of Timberland in everything but the shoes. hands off it!
