I bought this belt to use with a different buckle. The quality is ok, but definitely not the best. The buckle that comes with it is pretty fresh and seems pretty solid and functional. What prevents me from giving it at least four stars is the fact that it doesn't have an extra loop to attach the end of the belt. I didn't even pay attention to the photo because, to be honest, I've never heard of a leather strap that doesn't have this feature. You can tuck the excess through the belt loop on most jeans, but that just doesn't work for pants like the Dickies and other work pants I wear a lot. If the lack of this feature isn't a big deal for you, I recommend you buy it.
