The materials on this belt are very good for the price. You should know that the inside of this belt is unfished calfskin leather which doesn't bother me ( you can't tell when it is being worn), I actually like it because it seems to keep the belt from moving or sliding when it is being worn. The other thing I was surprised to find is that the buckle and keepers can be removed (snaps on underside). I was a little turned off at first thinking it was a little cheap looking. After purchasing another style I found it to be nice to interchange styles if I want and the snaps seem to be of good quality.
