Very high quality product. Perfect adhesion and uniformly luminous coloring of the thread. I was expecting more leather smell since it's a real material but strangely there is no smell at all. Fairly thick quality leather with a solid brass clasp. You can tell it's a quality product. The belt is well packaged or I would assume the one I received was already opened as there was some damage to the side of the box. If I were giving this as a gift, I'd be a bit annoyed at the price I'd expect from a reasonably intact box. The fact that they come in a hard cardboard box is a must. Presumably, other packaging could have been used, such as cigarette paper, to keep the shape of the belt from rubbing against the inside and potentially damaging it. The strap costs £75 at the time of writing, which is a lot for a strap. However, this is a branded item, made by hand and related to elite gifts. Without a doubt these are very high quality belts and they will match the price. They look very stylish and
