This is a very nice belt that can be your most important everyday belt for many years. It's made from a strip of durable leather that's been beautifully cured and dyed. It is a single piece of leather, not a better quality piece of leather grafted onto cheaper ones. What sets this belt apart from most other belts is the extra piece of leather wrapped around one side of the belt buckle. I'm not sure if it's particularly functional, but it certainly looks great. In short, this is a great looking strap that can withstand almost daily use. In a word, this is a very, very good belt.
