I wanted to like this belt. I want a good one and it's nice and feels solid but it's all superficial. Whatever this belt was made of, it fell apart from the day I got it. The slightly sharp edge of the buckle cuts through the surface of the belt, exposing what practically looks like chipboard!?! At this rate it can't go long and it looks like hell now because the black border is now giving way to a gray sub-material that looks awful. Back to the toilet board!
