I usually had trouble finding a belt that was strong and strong enough to last around my waist for over 3.5 months before it broke but as soon as i put it on i knew this belt was going to last a while, it has a strong strong buckle, real leather strap and it smells like it the moment you take it out of the box and i likes that he has no notches. To be used in a belt to attach the belt instead of snapping it. The design is amazing and I have already told quite a few people about this belt and where I got it from
