The build quality of this belt is better than the other two cheap belts I've tried here. Note carefully rounded strap attachment points and better edges. overall a bit stiffer/thicker. On the side of the buckle is an inexplicable 10cm gap with no holes which I don't like visually, but for me this gap is mostly covered by the end of the belt when I'm in my pants. Despite the good build quality, I suspect the materials will eventually crack or delaminate. However, this is the best of the three belts I've tried. The inside of the strap says "REAL LEATHER" but the product listing says that's not the case and when I looked at the end of the strap it looked like it was some kind of sandwich. (see photo 3). It also doesn't smell like leather + Quality construction + Strong buckle + Average waist size 33-36. Less you have an extra strap on the end.- 4 inch gap with no holes on side of buckle- Hand strap too close to buckle for easy insertion- Some pairs of holes are not centered on strap strap. They were clearly placed by hand and the spacing along the length of the belt varies slightly. It looks like both holes were punched together with the tool, so all holes are likely to work. - It feels like the layers might peel off
