This is a really good belt. 100% leather and very thick. Taking off a star because the buckle is difficult to remove and reattach. The buckle is held in place by two button screws that require a 5/68 hex wrench to separate (I think). If both screws can be loosened easily, you are done. If one gets stuck, the whole knob turns and you have to find a way to hold the knob in such a way that you can remove the screw without turning the whole knob. It's possible, but it's not exactly easy. Also, you need to put something soft on the pliers so as not to ruin the finish of the button.
