I bought this belt a little less than a year ago because my previous leather belt was in tatters and I was looking for pet free options. The quality is excellent and I appreciate the clean and professional look but without the brutality. It takes a little extra effort for the initial fit, as you may have to cut a piece off the end if it's too long (but that piece is hidden in the buckle anyway). No signs of wear or damage after 11 months of daily use.
