The belt turned out to be exactly what I needed. It turned out to be softer than I expected but it holds up well. I've been looking for a belt that won't peel after use and this one never seems to. It is actually made out of full grain leather. The only reason I give it 4 stars is not so much for the product but because the bracelet doesn't come in a slightly thinner size like 1 inch or 1.125. Some of my belt loops don't work with this width :/
