I have always loved this style of belt, Coach was my first belt I bought in this style but it was a $200 belt, they no longer make this style of belt and it started to show its age after 15 years, but it was such a high quality belt. .When my wife bought me this one, I didn't like it because of the workmanship of the material, I thought it would start to age after the first wear. I've had the belt for a month now and one day it got soaked. The material used is very durable, it's worth it! looks beautiful after the shine is removed.
