I'm very impressed! As soon as you take it out, you can smell the unmistakable, spicy scent of new leather. This belt is made of thick, high quality, stain-free leather. The workmanship on the back and the edges is excellent. The style is nice and the overall feel is really nice. The photos in the ad are true. It really looks that good in person. From a functional point of view, it suits me well. I wear a 36-38 waist and ordered the 33-42 version and it fits right in the middle holes. The strap itself is wide and stiff enough to hold phone cases or anything else you might want to secure with it. came with a steel leather punch that you can use to make it! I suggest doing this on a kitchen cutting board so you don't damage the table. But mine was already a good fit and didn't need trimming. The price is comparable to normal department store belts, maybe even better. I've seen similar belts twice the price but not the same quality and this is the first time I've seen a belt with a leather punch for accurate sizing. I would definitely order another belt from this company, maybe in a different color or style, but it will take a long time to wear out.
