Mechanically, this belt works great. I like not having holes and I like being able to easily reach and adjust the strap so it's a little tighter. And I love the styling. When new, the pattern looked very clear. However, after a year of use, the cheap pattern on the back began to peel off. The weaving pattern is practically a work in colour. I'll probably buy another belt of the same type, but I want to find something that won't wear out as much.
