After purchasing this belt I read some reviews and got a bad feeling. After getting my belt I really don't know what people expect from things today. I love the belt and it serves the purpose I bought it for to hold my pants or shorts. I really don't know why you would buy a belt for anything other than that purpose. I think the belt is excellent quality and if you were in the army like I am in Vietnam the belts would be of the same quality. So, in conclusion, I think people have come to terms with the fact that you only spent $7.99 and said, make up and put on a belt.
