Needs replacing approx. A 10 year old (maybe 20?) leather belt that I wear almost every day, since I first bought it. I believe the old belt was Levi's, Docker's, or one of those brands. This new belt came exactly as expected, 1-1/4" wide, with retainer, and I was able to transfer the center bar buckle from the old belt to the new belt. The new belt is the correct size and the buckle fits with no issues. The new one Strap is as thick (about 3/32 inch) as the old strap. TBH, I was expecting it to be thicker, but if the old belt lasted this long, this new belt will probably get me to the point, on which I no longer need a belt (e.g. long dirty nap, my big treat, etc.) The nice thing is that this new belt fits my size because I obviously followed the instructions It has 7 holes and I'm at #3 so I can make 2 holes thicker or 4 holes thinner However the belt seems good and I would buy it again.
