This is a very high quality genuine leather belt at an affordable price. The overall construction and finish and the quality of the material make this an easy purchase. It doesn't look flat like other leather straps that require conditioning, which might be just what you're looking for. The buckle is very solid and has a good weight. This is not a formal belt but a pretty good everyday belt. Not too stiff and comfortable for normal wear. Comes with a matching keychain that will be appreciated. There are many belts in this price range that are bonded/'genuine' rather than full grain leather, you can get this one too. It will not disappoint you. I'll check it out and update my review in time to see how it holds up.
