I bought this belt because I'm really, really sick of the crappy ones you buy at Hot Topic or Spencer or Pac Sun or any store. Everything was falling apart and looking old when you bought them for maybe a year (I wear a studded belt EVERY DAY so I'm a "heavy user" of these products). I spent $20 on a belt and after 2 months the lining on the belt is already falling apart uh tired. So this time I went for a REAL leather belt. Oh god, it was worth it. I've had it for 9 months now (I wore it daily for the first 3 months and now only sporadically) and it shows absolutely no signs of wear. . No one. It really looks like it just came in the mail. I am VERY glad I bought this. The only thing that's a bit annoying about the belt, i.e. 4 stars instead of 5, is really a fairly wide belt. It fits most belt loops on my pants, but there are a few pants/shorts that just can't handle the width of the belt, it just doesn't work. A bit unfortunate, but nothing that bothers me. And yes, the belt description describes the belt sizes accurately, I think I just didn't bother to compare the sizes to my other belt (which completely disintegrated within a year. A blunt piece of Pac Sun belt). BTW, sometimes this information helps: I'm a woman with a 32" waist (at least that's the size of men's pants I fit in) and I bought a 36" belt. I wear it by the first belt buckle hole (aka: the narrowest) and I love it so I can thread the rest of the belt through the first belt loop a second time so it doesn't get snagged all the time. on tables/tabletops/chairs/etc (I really hope this all makes sense.). I would recommend this product to anyone who has wide belt loops on their pants and is a "heavy spiked belt user" like me :P
