Pretty good for this price, everyday belt, brown genuine leather with rich texture. It's actually reversible, and the black glue-on leather back (i.e. not full-grain leather) doesn't look as rich as the tan side, but it's still very neatly finished for a sub-$30 belt. This belt is easy to shorten; You will need an office knife, a small screwdriver and 5 minutes. I did this with mine to use the center hole as I like. The leather is not as soft as my higher quality belts but holds up well to wear
