This is a quality belt with subtle stitching and genuine leather. It won't win any beauty awards as it is a very simple looking belt where functionality is more important than fashion but it does what it is supposed to as there is no metal in the product. I've been to many airports around the world and even had an MRI with him and had no problems. I don't wear this belt every day but I've had it for two years now and it's still holding up. Fine. The stitching is still secure and not frayed, the carbon fiber buckle shows no signs of wear and the strap itself looks good apart from a little stretching which is normal given the time I've had it.
