* Upgrade to 1 star. The threads of the belt are already sticking out at the seams. The quality is terribly low for the price. I don't even believe in leather at the moment as the belt is already showing signs of wear. I've been wearing it for about a month and it's just not acceptable. SAVE MONEY, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! The leather is very poor quality, I'm pretty sure they sent me a smaller size than I ordered. I need a belt for work so I can't return it until I buy another one. The reason for 3 stars instead of 1 is that the buckle and ratchet system is really good. The lifting buckle that releases the strap is much nicer and easier to use than other snap button brands. However the 'leather', if you can even call it that, is probably the worst quality I've seen from any brand and my belt is a bit small due to sizing issues.
