If you have ever had a truly nice leather belt, you know quickly that this isn't one of them. It is however a decent belt for the money. At less than $20, it will last you a year or two before it begins to separate and fall apart. It arrives stiff and difficult to work. The buckle and leather itself look cheap, but work fine. Overall, if you understand you are not getting a top quality belt, it's fine. But I have a feeling if most people actually picked this belt up in a store, they would pass on it.
