This is my second of these belts and I think I just need a little feathering to get a decent one. There's a pretty big gap in size so I'm either not fitting or the size I have has to shrink to the last hole. It's okay, but the skin isn't very durable. After about a week or two of use, the holes started falling apart. Had the same problem with the first one but managed to last almost a year. I'm not so lucky here. Maybe it's better to save it as a dress belt than as an everyday item, but I personally find the leather just inferior.
