Review on Men's Classic Casual Single Buckle Belts: DWTS Essential Accessories by Justin Spence

I like the classic look of DWTS "Men's Classic Casual Genuine Leather Single Prong Buckle Belt" (P11 Color Black). The belt arrived nicely packaged in a very nice black DWTS gift box with a silver seal. In addition to the belt, the box contained a suede pouch for storing the belt, an "Instruction Manual" that also describes other types of DWTS belts, a thank you card, and a tool to punch additional holes in the belt if needed. The DWTS Classic Casual Dress Belt is a very nice looking belt that fits the normal business standard in our office quite well. Approximately 1 and 1/16" (17mm) wide, satin black exterior and gloss black interior, with a row of stitching along the edges and a silver satin buckle. The size in the size drop down shows accurately; my waist is approximately 40 Inches (when I don't feed them) and the size 42 belt fits me perfectly with a spike that inserts in the middle hole of the seven available. I've added this belt to my list of belts for everyday office use. Although it looks great I'm not entirely happy with the feel of this belt.My first impression when I took the bracelet out of the box was that it looked like plastic and didn't smell like leather.(Actually it doesn't smell like anything, smells to me It doesn't.) Even after wearing the belt a few times, I'm not sure if it's really real leather.Although the inside of the belt is stamped "Real Leather", I took a close look at the surfaces and edges with a magnifying glass and tried trying to decide if the belt is actually made out of leather or synthetic materials, but I just couldn't tell for sure. Neither on the belt, nor on the packaging, nor on the company's website is the country of origin indicated, although the explanation of the name DWTS Danweitsi ("Before wears subtraction") seems to lose something when translated into English. Despite my uncertainty about the materials used, at a current price of $14 this is a really good price for a very nice classic style men's belt.
