First I liked the belt. It's really wide. I didn't think a 2 inch belt would look this wide, but it's a pretty cool 2 inch belt. It works though and I love that it's so big. Although the thickness of the skin is a little thin. One of my thinnest leather belts. And now that I've had it for a while, I've noticed that the colored layer on the belt is actually just a thin veneer. like a kind of film over a strip of skin. It's not a solid black piece of leather. so be careful. However, I love the belt and wear it often, but I can tell you it won't last long. The black part is already starting to peel off the skin slightly where my belt loops are pressing against it.
