The belt came in very good packaging but I am buying the belt not the packaging. Immediately after opening it, I noticed that the belt buckle was discolored, scratched. The belt itself looks of dubious quality, but I decided to give it a try. Now after wearing it for about 10 days I can safely say that this is the lowest quality, cheapest belt I have ever owned. The stitching is unraveling, about 1/2 inch bubbles are starting to form on the tape, I think the glue or whatever is holding it together is failing as well. I write very critical reviews but this belt really pissed me off. Buy and be careful and always read 1 star reviews before you buy anything.
