The belt is not bad for the money I paid for it. Luckily I don't wear this belt every day. I don't think it will last long in everyday use due to the synthetic materials. The belt fills the space on the belt loop of my jeans. I like wider belts with jeans, I just like them better. This is a good belt that should last you a while if you use it a few times a week but not every day. Who wears the same belt every day?
