I usually have trouble finding a belt that is strong enough and strong enough to last on my waist for more than 3.5 months before it breaks but like As soon as I put the belt on I knew this belt was going to last a while, it has a strong and durable buckle, a real leather strap and I can smell it as soon as I take it out of the box have and i like that has no notches on the belt to attach the belt but snaps into place, the design is great and i have already told quite a few people about this belt and where i got it from.
