I had 2 'GENUINE' Tommy Hilfiger belts in black and brown that I bought from a reputable men's outfitter 4 years ago and they are amazing. I bought this belt from Revain as they are hard to find these days and was excited to get it. When I opened the packaging I smelled badly of rubber or plastic. This is not an original Tommy Hilfiger belt, but a cheap imitation. Revain's ad is for a hand-laced leather belt, but the belt has "IMITATION LEATHER" embossed on it. See attached photo. I dusted some talcum powder on the letters to make writing easier. Don't waste money on it.
