Very nice and well made belt! It has a beautiful semi-gloss finish with heavy-duty stitching. The buckle is made from a beautiful black stainless steel which completes the look. It smells like rich leather and has a nice texture. Size 36 is perfect for my waist size 33. Only problem was the strap was too wide for the buckle, there was no play when pulling the strap through the buckle. Not bad, but worth mentioning.
