Well, we liked this belt from the start. The belt looks good. Appearance isn't everything, however. While the belt looks great, we're used to strong, heavy leather belts that can take a beating. In fact, my beloved worn belt is probably 15 years old. The leather of this belt appears fragile. This belt is unlikely to last 15 years or even a couple of years. Another thing is that we buy belts for clothes, and these belts usually cost 20-40 dollars. Sure, you can spend more money on a belt, but there are plenty of good looking belts in this price range, both dressy and casual. Even reversible belts. This belt may look good, but is it worth the current price? We don't think. In fact, we consider the cost of this belt to be below average, which significantly influenced our assessment. In the review, we like the durable, well-made strap. This strap doesn't feel heavy or thick, like it's very strong. We also think the current price is too high. Accordingly, our current rating is three stars. If our experience is better than expected or worse than expected, we will revise our rating. Much luck!
