I've been using this belt as a daily belt for a year and a half now so I feel I can give a solid review. The leather on this belt has held up well and looks just as good as the day I received the belt. However, this belt has a significant design flaw. The junction between skin and buckle is unstable. If, after a few months of regular use, you don't pay attention to the quality of the connection, the leather suddenly detaches from the buckle when you are in front of your colleagues and your pants hang down to your ankles. Unfortunately, I speak from experience. Twice. The other two times it banged, I caught my pants in time. The belt's zippered design makes it easy to put on and take off, but you may accidentally pull on the buckle's "lever" and loosen the belt slightly. Aside from the occasional buckle issue, it was a good belt, but it won't be my next belt.
