The belt is of excellent quality, so much so that I now have a brown and a black one. Seven months later, both the brown and black straps are holding up very well. Other brands of men's belts that I have purchased from Revain are either starting to fray or the color is fading and blotchy. Not those Diesel belts, the stitching is quality and the color looks the same as it arrived. The problem with these belts is the size, for some reason Diesel and the Revain seller went out of their way to make them difficult to get hold of. correct size as possible. The original belt I received was too short, I sent it back and ordered another size up which fit perfectly. I was then able to buy a second belt that was the right size but in a different color which also fitted perfectly.
