Very stylish belt. Good quality. The only weak point might be the piece of vinyl wrapped around the latch, as this material wears and breaks over time. In fact, it's still not necessary. For a minimalist, neater look or for a repair, the nylon strap can be attached to the buckle with a few stitches. Either way, it's easy to fix. The buckle goes through normal belt loops (tested with various jeans and cargo pants. It looks better on women's pants. It's too tight for men. I hope that helps with the decision.
