Ordered the Men's Ninja Black, since I'm a ninja. Buckle is solid, the strap, I don't really know, it feels kind of light weight, and I guess time will be the true test of how it will hold up, but I'm certain the buckle will last forever. It's really cool to be able to order the buckle and belt separately, and I see a few more buckles down the road for me, to mix and match. If you order to your waist measurements, you get a belt roughly 8 inches longer, and that extra 8 inches goes into a belt loop and is no problem at all. My only complaint is how the belt feeds into the buckle, then goes in behind it. It is a great way to keep the buckle exposed I guess, but it's a little extra work getting it pulled tight and fit. Kinda goes from pull the belt like we are used to, to "push and feed". Like i said though l, I see myself ordering more, therefore, I recommend you get one too.
