I rarely wear a belt. Ever since I retired, I've basically been a stretch waist guy. But sometimes you need a real belt, for weddings and stuff. There I have, um. outgrown All my old belts when I was working this one should do all my belt needs as it comes in both brown and black. I can't comment on durability as I haven't worn them yet. But I assume everything is fine. And the price is very good.
