The belt isn't bad but the buckle is some crappy galvanized metal and is rough on the outside edge. Faux leather parts smell slightly like artificial material. The weave is pretty tight in my opinion. Look for the size chart in the photos in the ad, it was accurate. I went for the one that fits waist 36 to 38 and it fits me perfectly for waist 38. You need to keep the belt loop size in mind as at 1 and 3/8 inch wide it might not be too narrow for some Pants fits belt. very similar to those sold in the country's largest retail store, but at a much higher price. This is the reason for 3 stars. This belt will be greatly appreciated.
