I have a pro force uniform that is about 12 years old that I have no complaints about. This is why I purchased this belt. I am very disappointed with its construction. I have had several belts in the past and while all were a little stiff when I purchased them I was able to wear all of them. This one was so stiff that it would not stay tied. So I decided to wash it with some softener. There were no washing instructions. So I put it in the hand wash mode and hung it to dry. When it was dry I saw that it was fraying on the faces of the belt. This belt will go in place of the one I was wearing into my display without being worn once in class. I would like to return it.  Permalink
