Okay after a while about 7 months this belt had some problems - mostly the holes are so worn that now the black layer is peeling off - this belt actually looked quite real at first space, but I think it's such a torn skin. It doesn't hold up as well as it seems, lesson learned and it's also heavy having had multiple straps before. Why is it so damn hard to find a good black leather belt that isn't torn or something? good for a while. And it still works like a belt, it's by far the best shredded
