I was looking for a 1 3/8" wide belt for everyday and formal occasions and it suits me - it looks great in the office and at the wedding. The leather is of good quality and quite soft.After two weeks of use it seems to be very durable.The finish on top and bottom is also solid unlike other straps I've had.I wear size 30 pants, ordered a size 32 belt and the buckle fits in the middle of the 5 holes.I rubbed it on a white cloth to see if the color would come off and the cloth stayed white.High quality at a reasonable price!I would like another one from the same company to buy!
