I love that this belt (and keychain) arrived neatly packaged in a box that's easy to pack if you're looking to give it as a gift. Although I bought it for myself I will definitely be buying it again to to give him away) as a gift ! Incredible quality. Looks the same as in the photo, but looks better in real life. The thickness and quality of the leather simply cannot be conveyed from the photo. The embossing accuracy is amazing. The color of the leather is even (but not monotonous, has a slight texture) and is absolutely gorgeous. The buckle is of the same quality, heavy, with a semi-matt finish that manages to be neither matte nor shiny. There is nothing on this belt I don't do it at all, this is the highest quality belt I've seen in years! Anyway, I'm a woman and I bought it for myself but my husband is very jealous of it. We both prefer things that are made of good materials that stand the test of time and have an understated elegance in their appearance. This would be a win for any man or woman with tastes similar to ours. I can't recommend it more highly other than that it's also made in the USA and it's nice to know that this purchase is helping to strengthen our country's manufacturing base and keep people busy here at home.
