This is a nice belt but it's a bit thinner and stiffer than I expected. I hope it lasts 15 or 20 years of daily use, just like the belt it replaces. Also, the black side of the belt doesn't have the nice pattern that the brown side has, it's just shiny black. The buckle seems to be made quite strong, so I don't expect any concerns about it falling apart. I bought a very long bracelet because some reviewers recommended it because the bracelet broke, but I ended up having to return it. I bought a replacement that was 2 inches longer than my pant size and it was perfect. I plan on using it as a belt, not a belt, so I doubt I'll have a problem with it breaking.
