I have several and love them. They’re several years old. I also got them within a week after placing my order. Excellent quality leather work, and they continue to hold up well. I don’t remember if any of mine have a stiffener, though, but they easily hold up a fullsize, all-steel 1911 OWB without any outward sagging. Mine have the older style metal Aegis buckles, and I’ve had no issues with them. I think they now come with polymer buckles? I could be wrong about that, though. As someone else said, they’re fairly thick and not all holster slots will easily fit through the thickness, which is my only complaint.
