can be somewhat misleading. The product states that the genuine leather is a blend of leather and polyester, with poly predominating. So I find that a bit misleading. The color is decent, but the outer plastic coating starts to wear off early in the belt hole, which is what I use the most. Speaking of belt holes, the size of the belt is really small. I ordered a large one and my belt buckle buckles in the penultimate hole. I think for $40+ you can do better.
