This belt is fantastic. It attaches with a nice "click" and I'm not bothered by the crackling and wear of the material around the holes in the leather straps. The buckle looks smooth, the fabric is luxurious. Very happy with this belt! One downside: figuring out how to work the belt took longer than I'd like to admit. But once I found out, amazing! Pro tip: The belt comes with a chart showing how to detach it, but I found the arrows on the chart confusing. Basically, to unlock the click buckle, use your index or middle finger to find the lever at the base of the buckle (ie towards your feet). Slip your finger under the lever (between your belly and the buckle) and pull the lever outward - FROM your body - instead of sliding left or right or pressing on the buckle or belly button. Hope this helps and have fun!
