I bought a version of this belt to wear with jeans and the buckle broke after a few years. Otherwise it was a good genuine leather belt. When I first bought the belt it looked the same, but the leather cover is literally thinner than paper. It started to crumble quickly where the buckle meets the skin and now only white is visible in various places - I'm guessing it's white PVC/Vinyl. I recommend avoiding this belt! Buy something else.
