The belt is of course made of imitation leather and the construction is good. I like that the belt is very versatile in size. The only problem, but a pretty big problem, is that the rear buckle is not fastened. When I first put it on, the back of the holster was still hanging out. I ended up having to fold the nozzle over the tape. After seeing that I bought this particular belt because I liked the buckles, I'm very disappointed that one of them doesn't work.
