I love this belt. The best part is that I forget. In my opinion, this is a sign of a good belt. Someone who does his job and stays away. The material is quite dense so it doesn't fold on its own. This is a canvas strap problem that I've encountered all too often. A problem that almost turned me away from canvas belts in general. The material is often too thin, and then folds on its own, turning from an ordinary belt into a kind of pseudo-rope. This belt does not seem to suffer from this problem. The buckle part is good quality metal, I had no problems with chipping or color fading. tl:dr; That's a good belt.
