I was VERY impressed with the quality of this belt! It's very thick (in a good way since it's not thin). The clasp is strong too! It even came in a box with a mini screwdriver and leather tool for cutting lengths or making new holes. My ONLY complaint is that the two loops on the side of the buckle are attached with a very thin piece of metal butt rather than sewn together. I don't expect them to last long.
