I have doubts about this product, I like the design 100%, but the second time my fiance wore it, he tried to close the buckle he went with, and broke too, and it's not because he tried to over-tighten it, because it looks like a stick, there's no grease on it, it's just a very cheap buckle. So if you buy these I would recommend finding a better buckle for it. Otherwise I like the belt.
