I liked the look of the buckle on this belt and thought it would be durable as it is real leather. Unfortunately, it appears to be a leather "skin" glued to a leather backing. After a couple of weeks of wearing, the "skin” began to peel off, white spots appeared. I have sent my comments on this to the manufacturer but never heard back from them. Beware of this brand as this is an extremely low quality product masquerading as something durable. Do not buy!
