I have ordered this belt three times. For the first time in August 2012, it took almost five years. The quality was great. When the everyday clothes became too big, I ordered another one in April 2017. This belt didn't last a year before having problems with the belt stitching coming undone. I contacted the seller and they told me to send the belt back but I didn't want to go through this issue and just ordered another one in May of this year hoping it was just an accident. Well it isn't. Only 5 months have passed and the seams have separated on this one. These belts were carefully preserved and worn in the office with dress pants. I won't be fooled anymore.
