I love this belt and was discovered during the holidays because people liked it too much. I don't know how it will last, but I like it. Apparently we did, wish the main leather strap was thicker. No signs of glue yet as other reviewers have noted. The colored stitching definitely stands out and gives the look of the belt collected in relation to the size. I hope the photos I took came out right to show you. The belt hardware is well made
