This belt exceeded all expectations for the price. Genuine leather (not reputable, I thought glued leather was nonsense) The buckle is strong and comfortable too. I got the measurements wrong (39" to 43") and I have a 36" waist - that's my fault so the stars weren't removed there (I thought it was 36" to 43") ). With that in mind I was already at the tiniest hole for the belt and knew I had to cut it. Luckily the belt actually came with a leather punch and a spare screw for the buckle. That's an added value! The belt fits perfectly. I would buy it again!
