Am really absolutely loved the belt and will also look at times after a brown copy. For longevity, I can personally say anything; But as I always take out the belt from his pants after wearing and suspension, should (if the material does not crack) these hold a few days :-)
PS When calculating the belt length I proceeded to the usual calculation. Have picked out myself a matching belt and the length between the inner edge of the belt buckle and the middle hole (ie the third hole) measured.

Update from 29.11.12: The belt is now good 4 months old and has absolutely no recognizable signs of wear (the belt is worn on average 2-3 times a week). The buckle is still working just fine, the holes are not "worn out", etc. (After wearing I take the belt but also out of his pants back out and put it over a chair). I am more than satisfied and can confirm the 5 star for this! Property me therefore ordered 2 parts of Lloyd Belt; hope this will be a long time do their service!

Updated on October 17, 2014: I just read in the description that the belt would not be shortened. I have this, however, already 2x brought to Schuster my confidence and let this there easily cut. The belt has been opened at the seam, cut and re-sewn together. Worked without problems - use the belt again since at least 1 year.!
