Funny story, I sent this particular item back. I still want to check it out as I sent it back because I didn't want to replace my existing belt. I've had the exact same uniform belt for 15 years, it still holds up like a champ even with the duty belt on. Glad to have it replaced as I now have a position that does not require an external duty belt, the wear and tear was now visible. Well I got this new piece of leather and just couldn't bring myself to break the new belt. So I decided to restore my belt and keep it in service. I stand behind the Boston leather uniform belts.
