The belt looks aesthetically pleasing when first purchased, but after a few weeks of wearing quality issues appear, after just a few months of use it's already falling apart. My buddy said the quality of Carhartt has gone downhill lately, I dismissed that as maybe just a bad product but this belt along with a few other items I bought from the fleet made me see the decay, which he achieved in excellent company. It's sad because I used to swear at Carhartt, but I can't anymore.
