I ordered this for my wife and was so impressed I ordered the same for myself (in my size of course) as well as black. The smell of quality made from leather, but it was the tooling that inspired me to buy two for myself. Nicely done but subtle. I use both western (cowboy) style buckles and regular single prong buckles and swapping them out is literally a snap. The clasps hook and hold securely, but are easy to open. Overall, this belt is a bargain in my opinion. I have some great leather belts from other brands but this one is just as good as the Italian ones in my wardrobe and they cost a lot more than them.
