My husband does not like belts and often needs a new one. Department store belts are often very expensive and don't last longer than cheaper name brand belts so I decided to give it a try as it was under $20. My husband is also picky about his belts - width, material, how he buckles - so I was glad he liked this one. Seems to be of good quality, especially for the price, so would recommend as a dress or everyday belt.
