I really think this belt is expensive. It is nicely packaged if you give it as a gift. When I first tried it on it was a bit large (about 2 1/2 inches). Thought I would have to return it for a smaller size but it comes with a leather punch. It was a bit confusing at first because the holes in the belt are oblong and the stamp is round. After a bit of thought, I realized that the buckle can be removed with a Phillips screwdriver and trimmed from the end of the buckle. I will look for other belts from this seller.
