This strap is a little thinner than I expected but other than that it's good. The grain is smooth and the color is even. The buckle feels a bit cheap but looks good and does the job. Good value for money - went ahead and bought another in black. I usually buy pants with a 34-36" waist and the 38" belt fits perfectly. It attaches to the third hole, giving it extra length, just enough to slip the end through the loop on your belt and pants without being too long.
