Belts of excellent quality - in terms of design, leather, colour, construction, durability and appearance. More expensive but worth every penny. HOWEVER, the rule of thumb for sizing is to order pants 2 inches larger than your pant waist size (for example, if you wear pants with a 30" waist, order a 32" belt). All Edmonds belts are made SMALL, so you must order 4 inches larger than your pant waistband (for example, if you wear pants with a 30" waist, order a 34" Allen Edmonds belt). I had to return the belt I ordered 2 inches larger than my pant size and reorder 4 inches larger. The original belt I ordered was too small to wear and the replacement belt fitted perfectly.
