I have been wanting to get a belt that wasn't leather for awhile. This canvas belt is very heavy and thick. I like that it is very sturdy. It is a very comfortable belt, and it keeps tight and stays put. I'm not sure I like the frayed edge, I'm giving it a chance though. It's really nice looking, I've worn it with dress pants, and shorts. It will definitely hold up for the long haul. I received this at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
