I bought a Needlepoint sailing belt (size 36) to wear while sailing. Needle sailboats are well designed and the leather used for the strap is of good quality. However, the quality of the buckle did not convince me. It tends to loosen from time to time and the leather that makes up the belt will start to wear out after just a few wears. Overall, I found the Sailing Belt to be stylish, but not very practical for me as a sailor. In addition, the wear and tear in a very short time has been disappointing. Despite these issues I still think it's great and might be perfect for non-sailors. I give this product three stars out of five and advise potential buyers to take care of it gently and not wear it too often for maximum durability.
