The canvas is much thicker, sturdier, than typical inexpensive web belts with metal sliding buckle. The fold over buckle is clever and looks very neat and will not become undone. The natural canvas color works well with most casual jeans and slacks. My only complaint is the length of the belt. Medium is at least 3" too long for my 33" waist. Because of the fold over belt design (belt runs through both steel loops and back over one to stay in place) you cannot shorten this belt. They do not offer a small size. If you have a 35" waist or larger this belt is for you.
