Photo: Above: 10 years old, size 32 Below: 3 1/2 months. Size 30. As others have said the quality is not the same as the 10 year old he replaced. New very cheap feel. But so far it has been fine and now looks more like leather than when new. I assume it's broken. The worst thing about this belt is that the back, the side facing in, was very scratchy and just plain rough. I'm not sure if I had an accident or what. I sanded it lightly with 320 grit sandpaper until it was smoother. That made him very tolerant. After a few months of use, it is completely normal and smooth. What I like about it: It's an inch and a half wide. Wider than the original I have (but it's probably stretched). . I have to think it's a bit of a stretch as I've already moved up a few places. So this is a $13 belt that will probably last a few years if I have to guess. Wear it while working on cars or houses like I did and you don't have to worry about it getting dirty or scratched.
