This belt is made of thick leather and has a high quality buckle. This belt will last for many years and will be worn well. The only thing I found was that the belt was too big for me. I have a waist size 44 and was advised to order one size larger than my waist size. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but I order two size 46 belts and both are too big.
Many belts listed as genuine leather are not 100% leather. It is 100% leather and very durable. I wear it every day to work, hunting, fishing and even to church. I expect it to last a lot longer than the cheap imitations I've bought in the past.
