The belt is well made, but too rustic for an elegant belt. Being "Italian" implies a level of elegance that complements a fine suit, for example. Sheer jeans or casual trousers (khakis?) go well with this. The belt is thick and not elastic at all. The big line emphasizes this point. While the buckle is well proportioned and fits the overall aesthetic of this belt, it's also too large and rustic to be elegant. In general, everything is fine, just distorted. i give it back
