This is a simple leather belt but beautiful and you can feel the quality when you put it on. When I saw it I was concerned it would be cheap like his old belt which fell apart very quickly but this belt will stand the test. My husband is comfortable in it, mostly wears it with his work uniform, so he wears a lot from the start. Rest assured, unless you need a special buckle, this is a quality leather belt that will (sort of!) see you through the ages.
