Took a risk with this belt. I liked it so much that it became my everyday belt. Bought in April 2020, the buckle fell apart today 3rd December 2020. I have an old fashioned leather belt that still works 25 years after I bought it. I really liked this belt. I liked the design because the texture of the belt material is part of the ratchet system. But I don't understand the bad quality of the buckle. Money down the drain, luckily not big. I will never buy again.
