I don't know about you but shopping online requires you to know exactly what you want. It's hard to estimate quality because you can't really see or touch it and everyone has a different view on quality.This item is pretty good quality to me because the belt does not break and bend or tear with constant use. After the first few wears it does twist a bit where you buckle but important that it doesn't tear or cause raised lines (signs of poor quality or workmanship).It also fits very good . In buying a belt you really need to ensure that the belt fits you in the middle holes so that there's room for small weight changes. I wear waist 36 pants so I bought a waist 36 belt and it fits perfectly! No retarded over excess that doesn't line up with belt loops. Belt has got 7 holes and mine fit smack in the middle.Style is also very good to me though i'd prefer a wider belt, this one was nice and generic to work with just about and standard cut.I bought a black belt as well in a slightly different style and use them all the time depending on the color match and after 4 months they stand strong . no cuts, scratches or issues though there is a bit of stretch wear at the hole I normally use.
