This belt seems to last a lifetime. It is made from the finest quality full-grain leather and is 1/8 inch thick. To be clear, this is not a dress belt. In my opinion this is the perfect belt to wear with jeans or casual trousers. And the cost is very reasonable - great value for money. Mine just arrived and I couldn't be happier. I don't really need another belt, but I confess I was tempted to order the same belt in a different color (or two).
