1) The buckle came loose once while wearing it. 2) The metal tip caught in the loops of my belt and was partially tightened. 3) The buckle came off the belt and fell to the ground. when undressing. I wore this type of belt everyday for 4 years when I was in the military. The material of the braid on them is thinner. Maybe that's why they didn't stay. Too thin. A belt that doesn't hold up is useless.
