I ordered a tan belt with bronze buckle, looks very nice. "40-42", "BZ050", "Original Full Grain Leather" and "NPET™ Senmi" are written on the back, I believe this is really "Full Grain Leather". interesting texture that is natural ("Full-grain leather" is way better than "genuine leather" or even "fine leather". Full-grain leather ages beautifully -- the more you use it, the better it looks over time.) 1.5" wide and 42.5" from the outer end of the leather fold (at the end of the buckle) to the center of the seven adjustment holes. The holes are in one inch increments. I'm also 5mm thick. This would make the buckle difficult to attach, except that the manufacturer carefully and beautifully lightened each of the holes in the buckle tongue with a small slit (see seller photo). you think of th Would love to gift it to someone special) You get what you see in the photos and I think this is a top quality leisure belt! However, I have decided to return mine. Here are MY reasons: • The only pant I have with belt loops big enough is blue jeans, and those loops are barely big enough to hold two gauge belts at the end of the tongue. • The belt is so thick that it cannot gracefully follow a curved path through the buckle; so it doesn't rest on my waist. (However, this may improve with use.) • When worn, three gauges of strap overlap on the buckle bar. This is not a problem with dress straps (because they are much thinner). But this pile is almost 5/8 inch thick when the skin is 5mm thick.
