I have had this belt before and it has shown good quality and has held up for several years continuously so I bought the same belt again. What a shock! The belt found was slightly different from the old belt, but I assumed it was because it was new. The buckle's spike was sharp where it almost cut my fingers several times before I got used to it. The final downside was the loss of the black trim due to rubbing the pant belt loops after only a few wears. I never thought that a quality name like Florsheim could offer such a crappy product.
