Excellent belt. I've always disliked wearing belts because the cold metal buckle rubs against my stomach when I bend over. This solves this problem! This belt is made of high quality leather and is actually thicker than a regular belt. As mentioned in other reviews, make sure you order the right size - I ordered 32 and waist 32 is the very last hole. As I gain weight it doesn't fit anymore so I would actually recommend ordering a size up just to be on the safe side.
