I bought this belt to replace a Dickies work belt which I wore every day for probably 8 years. I don't like belts. I need them to hold my pants so the leatherman and keys will dangle from them. Overall I am very happy with this belt. Good quality product, not stretched, true to size. I wear pants in 42 and ordered a belt in 44. I use the holes in the middle to gain or lose a few kilos. I would say the only downside to this strap is that the leather is so thick that my key holder doesn't like sliding over it. It's really something against the quality, but it's worth noting.
