Don't waste your money on this belt. Based on my observations the "genuine leather" looks fake and has an unpleasant smell .The buckle also scratches easily, which ruined the entire look. The XL44 size is misleading as it barely fits a regular-sized waist. The only pro is the red color which can ADD a pop of color to your outfit but considering the overall quality, it's not worth it. Men`s fashion deserves better options than this belt..
