This belt has been worn for two days now. It served its purpose and still looks brand new. Materials and build quality are good. With braided belts, this is interesting because the belt holes are part of the weaving pattern. Other woven straps do not have holes, and you must thread the strap tooth through the weave. This one is better. I expect many years of use. As for appearance, the product image is accurate. My shirt won't tuck in when I wear this belt, in my case the belt looks great.
