This belt is made from beautiful genuine leather of excellent quality. It fits my two sons with a 36-38 inch waist. The belt is too big for my oldest son who has a 29 inch waist leaving 12 inches or more if the belt is left after buckled. The brand name is embossed on the leather loop buckle (see attached photos). For us this is not critical, but for someone it may be. The belt comes well packaged in a nice little storage/travel box and even comes with a spare clasp to attach the belt to the buckle. It was a nice and unexpected little addition to this purchase! I highly recommend this belt for the $20 we paid. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I bought it for my youngest son and it's too big for him.
