Hey everyone, I've been wearing the brown version of this belt to work most days for the past few months, and I have to say that I'm impressed with the feel and quality. For me, the big test is whether the stitching and leather break down where the buckle strikes the belt across the hole. I was worried about this at first, because the leather felt more stiff than supple, but it's been durable so far and even softened up a bit. Very pleased and expect it will continue to hold up well.
