I've worn this belt almost daily for two and a half years in a hot climate. ; others say it's thick and tough, which it is. But I'm a tall man and this belt is holding up really well while maintaining its looks.It took about a week to wear like a new pair of leather boots but then is comfortable.In the last few weeks it has started to loosen , so I'm going to buy a new one and this one will be a work belt Btw , mine was black on black but not reversible.
