This belt is very durable. For me, that's all it really takes. I bought this belt in red and it's definitely not the bright red that's shown. Instead, it's a faded, muddy red, as if it's been worn for a long time. Also, the D-rings are too big for the belt. It's just not an attractive style at all. I would return it if I could. Instead, it goes straight to the donation pile.
