it's every belt, not just this belt) so I wasn't too concerned about the size and the fact that it's from China. Really a very good belt. I shimmered a little more than I would have liked, but my son needed a belt that he could wear with brown or khaki dress pants. He's in college so he doesn't wear it often so I didn't want to waste an arm and leg. I'm going to wonder if this is real leather but for the price you really can't beat this belt. My son is a picky eater and he didn't mind the quality either so I doubt the belt will last very long, if you're someone who doesn't need to wear it every day for years this belt is a great buy.
