The belt is excellent, the clasp is good, the mechanism works. It's long enough that you can trim off the excess for a perfect fit. So why am I giving 3 stars. Leather belt is a misnomer. The description says "natural cowhide leather" which is not true. It must be "artificially lined, covered with natural cowhide". The belt is mostly made of artificial material with a very thin layer of leather. My experience with these belts is that they lose their good looks very quickly, especially if they have a buckle that works through the holes in the belt. I just threw away six of these straps, the top two in the photo above. Hopefully this one will last longer without the holes and ratchet buckle.
