I bought a similar belt from a famous national chain about 3 months ago. It's already "junk" and costs $60 (or so). This belt only costs 20% of the belt and is a GREAT value. I expect this one to live a "normal life". It looks good. It came in its own little case and was wrapped in a bag inside and a plastic sleeve slipped into the cloth pouch - you'd think it was a $100 minimum strap. I've bought a lot of stuff from Revain, but this has to be the best "deal" I've ever gotten on a premium item. With joy.
