The design and materials of this belt are good. However, it loses two stars because I had color issues. I have this belt in all three colors. Orange-brown, brown and black. I liked the orange-brown ones so much I bought two others. After wearing them for a few months, I noticed that the color on both didn't last as long as I had hoped. I polished the black and the next day I noticed that even after polishing the black paint was almost chipped in places. If they took care of it recently I would buy them again and recommend these belts to everyone. Right now I'm keeping a close eye on the stain or paint to permanently restore the original browns and blacks.
