This is a great everyday belt. Good, relatively thick leather, decent finishes and hardware that seems better than most comparably priced belts that I have had the opportunity to personally inspect. I've had this belt for 8 months now and I love it and I think it's a great price. I would suggest looking closely at the pictures - in my experience I got what I saw. It's a casual belt: it's well made, for example, but no frills, and the choice of buckles is utilitarian rather than luxurious. My closeup photo; Only your best friends should be this close to the waist. everyone else sees a good leather belt! But it doesn't get in the way of the look and it stays on the pants for a long time and looks good at the same time. It's not a dress belt, and it probably won't pass the test of comparing belts to men in tuxedos at a formal event, but you can bet their belts are significantly more expensive (or disposable). I bought this belt because I was dissatisfied with how poor my comparable priced belts looked and wore out after only a few months.
