I ordered this canvas band to compliment a Citizen I got for work in a kitchen and have waited to write this review until I'd put it through its paces. I needed the band to be lightweight, durable, and easily washable. Barton has excelled in these aspects. The first thing I thought after removing the band from its packaging was, "wow, now that's black." Like, hole in space black. The hardware is quality and I anticipate the canvas holding up for a substantial amount of time. In all, I would recommend. If I had to pick a nit, it would be that the floating keeper was a little (and I mean a little) rough. Sandpaper made quick work of it however, and it's now exactly what I'd hoped it would be. It also picks up minor lint, but that's easy to remedy. Well done, Barton.
