The tapes arrived well packaged. When first donning the black belt, the trim chipped off, revealing the gray underlayer. Not what I was hoping for.

Great belt for a great price. I went a little bigger for a size. Most pants I have are size 32 or 33 and I bought size 36 (waist 34) and they are perfect.

This strap looks and feels very good, I was very impressed when I opened it. Unfortunately it's too small, I ordered a 36 for my husband and it fits me to the last stitch and I'm a women's size 2. I'll try to exchange for a larger size.

So far the straps appear to be durable, although I haven't seen the word "leather" on the inside of the straps. I haven't rated them as top stars because it remains to be seen how well they will wear. But they sure do look good. .

Whether this belt is made of leather on the outside is questionable. The inside is NOT leather. It's a hard, smooth plastic material that sounds like a plastic cup when tapped with your fingernails. When I received it the "taped" edges were peeling off and the stitching was loose. Nowhere on this belt is the "leather" marking that is usual for leather belts.

I've worn this belt a few times since I received it and so far I'm very happy with it. Very attractive and the quality seems very good so far. However, it arrived a few days later than expected and I probably should have chosen the 38" size to fit my 34" waist rather than the recommended 36" size. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and couldn't beat the price.

Price I'm not at all mad at what I got but it looks like cheaper leather when it is in front of you compared to the pictures.I ordered a brown belt but the belt I received was much more orange than me.Nevertheless for the price this is a decent belt even if it is doesn't fit most of my shoes.Works well and the hardware feels solid which is a plus and doesn't feel flimsy like some coated buckles I've seen on other cheap belts.To be true to size but that Leather has wrinkles where it goes through
