The belt is solid and lasts a long time. Excellent details, stitching and embroidery. This will not be my everyday belt. Instead, I plan to only wear it on my daily outings and even on formal occasions. Goes well with blue jeans. I am planning to replace the buckle with a personalized one I bought from a western store. Of all the belts I've researched and tested, I've found the Nocona brand to be right for me. A bit pricey but worth the investment.
