Bought a Dickies strap many years ago. Good heavy thick braid. Eventually it deteriorated and wore out. I bought this one and it is NOT the same quality as the belt I was looking to replace. This strap is already (yes, it says so, but I didn't realize) thinner/flatter webbing and feels light and cheap. It looks like a light trouser belt. If you expect a thick and heavy webbing for work, choose another. If you need a mesh style belt for your pants, this is the one for you. I stopped there and couldn't be happier. Heavy old-school belt with a sturdy metal buckle. No thin stamped steel. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0754G8DDZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
