I like the look of the belt but after a few weeks of wearing the black started to peel on the sides where it goes through the buckle. I expected more from the Nocona belt. Update: I upgraded from 1 to 3 stars after wearing it for about a month because overall I like the belt. I don't like the fact that the black is peeling off the sides and I don't expect the strap to last long but all in all it's still a very nice looking strap and it can last long enough to stand on its own pay. Price. The area where the black color has disappeared is not (yet) noticeable.
