This is my second so I love the belt. The leather belt came loose from the buckle after four years of very regular wearing of my first belt. The only thing is that I wear shirts open and sometimes, very often, the buckle pulls out the hair on my stomach. Ouch! The solution is to make sure the buckle doesn't reach the waist of the pants or catch the hair. I wear this belt 95% with the white side in everyday life.
