I'm having a wedding and the sashes on my dress have seen better days so I ordered this one as I've bought a new suit. I really want to love this belt - the quality of the leather seems really good and it's very thick. It was very, very easy to cut and the instructions were clear and concise. However, there can be quality control issues with this company - as you can see in the picture, the buckle has a defect on one end. It's pretty harmless so I don't think that will stop me from wearing it and enjoying it. FYI if you are buying this and want it to keep looking new you will need to keep it in the nice sturdy box it came in. , and use something to protect it when you put on your seat belt etc as it has a wide flat metal surface that looks like it could get scratched very easily.
