This belt was worn with a pair of white golf shorts. The belt stained the fabric black. The color did not wash out and the shorts are permanently stained. I tried stain remover, bleach, and drying in the sun and the black stain only fade a little. This same black belt put permanent stain marks on a white belt because I put them together. I went to the mall, bought a new black belt, and threw the nightmare belt away. Total waste of money.
