I had another men's Timberland denim belt (which I'm *extremely* happy with) but it lost some weight so I have decided to buy him new ones in brown and black. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of my personal preferences and expectations. It wasn't quite what I expected compared to my original belt. This belt is made (for better or for worse) from much supple/softer leather. I prefer the jean belt which is a bit stiffer. Another thing is that the coating of this belt is very matte. Again, I would have liked a glossier finish. In general, the belt is of very good quality.
