The belt itself is of good quality, as is the buckle. Overall I like this product. However, the manufacturer used the tip of the belt, which slightly exceeded the width of the fabric. This will allow you to insert the tip of the belt into the loops at the waist of my pants. But when I take the belt off, the lace gets caught in the loops of the belt when the belt is pulled (backward) to remove it. It's not a huge size deviation, but enough to make belt removal a lot more of a hassle than it should be, and . it happens every time. The end result is that the tip has to be manually reset to allow it to go back through each loop (yes, I said EVERY loop) when the strap is removed. Again, it would have been at least a 4-star product if there had been a better production result. I've since used pliers, a small hammer, and a hole punch to reshape the tip to be smaller than the width of the strap, solving the problem. I wish the manufacturer would get it right the first time and save me the trouble of fixing their mistake. I wear this belt almost every day and am otherwise satisfied with its performance.
