Very happy with the quality of this leather. I paid the same price for another one on Amazon and it was complete rubbish and fell apart within a week. I've worn this belt every day for 5 years and the only signs of wear are scratches from leaning against a rough brick wall. I will order another one, I hope it lasts as long. I definitely recommend it. Edit: Worn every day for 8 years and still valid. no noticeable stretching and still in great shape
