Not too impressive but you get what you pay for. To edit. About 1 year later. This belt reminds me more of rubber than leather. The black has worn off in several places, leaving a chocolate brown color. But it still holds, no delamination or cracking of the skin. No torn seams. I gave it another star because it has held up so well over time. ***UPDATE*** July 31, 2018, I still wear this belt every day. The black color changed to chocolate brown almost smoothly, but there was almost no stitch left. I've never owned a belt like this before.
