I know this product. Good quality. I have paired it with other Johnston Murphy belts I have. The hinges have been cut differently, effectively making it one size smaller. annoyed!
I've been buying J&M belts and shoes for as long as I can remember and this is the first quality issue I've had BUT. cannot return. Poor service from J&M and Revain.
Less than 90 days after my purchase, a mark appeared on the belt where the buckle meets the leather. If the belt is not made entirely of leather, it may be a fake. I have three other Jand M belts and none of them have ever done this.
I love this brand of leather belts. They will last at least a few years. This is my third belt and will easily outlast any other belt I've bought from the store.
