So far I have no complaints about the quality of the belt. However, I doubt the choice of the buckle itself. First, the buckle isn't wide enough on the inside, as the belt has to "wrinkle" a bit to fit through the buckle. Also, the buckle prong is too long as the tip protrudes slightly past the notch in the buckle, sitting a little higher than it should. Finally, I personally prefer the metallic buckle over the shiny "steel" look of this belt, but that's a minor issue.
