Bought as a belt replacement for a leather jacket. It looked great! It also held up much better in the jacket's belt loops than the original. (The original just slipped out on me one day while walking around with my jacket/belt undone.) As other people have pointed out, it was about 6 inches before the holes started, but I thought that was fine. Also, I usually hate wearing belts on my pants. but i tried it for kicks and giggles and i liked it too! Either way, it was well worth the $10 or a steal.
