The material of the fabric is thinner than a similar belt ("Attractive and durable men's cotton belt with a loop buckle by Stone Touch - Men's belt, black, silver, with a 47 inch buckle"), which I bought at the same time. Due to the thinner material this belt has some tension issues at the size I use every time I wear it and the other belt doesn't. This one has a metal clip on the end to keep it from wearing out, but the other strap doesn't carry much without it. It's a cheap belt and does the job, but a different belt is much better.
