I'm thrilled - I needed a cordovan/burgundy/auburn belt to replace the training belt I always had. It's not quite the same quality, but close. . . For, um, 5 or 10 times less. Update 3 years later: I wore it about once a week, and other reviewers' comments about it being too tight are true: it ripped at the 'snap' (although I tried to reseal it) . . . And it's worth it: I'll get another one!
