I first bought this belt about a year ago. After 3 months the black faux leather around the belt holes started to peel off. It became unwearable as it now had an unsightly appearance. So I dropped it. I recently thought I'd try this belt again because I thought the first purchase was just a bad batch. So I bought it again. I am ashamed of such a thought. I am very disappointed. I've had this belt for a little over a month and the faux leather is already cracked and peeling, looks awful. I cannot recommend this belt.
