I love this belt! I took the risk of buying it. Here's what happened: It came in a nice box and in a white bag - very elegant. I ordered it larger: my size is 66, so I got a size 68. Fits perfectly. It fits perfectly in pant loops. When it arrived I smelled it immediately. Pooh! Slightly unpleasant smell. My wife hated the smell but I put it outside for 1 1/2 days and the smell wore off. Now no smell. Looks nice and very comfortable. Can't beat the price! Five stars. Oh, by the way, did I tell you I love my belt?
