This is a *good* basic belt. For those who got it wrong, the black plastic caps on the two metal pins are for shipping only, to protect them from scratches. I wear a size 34 and it has an extra hole for after Thanksgiving dinner. Serious. I had a belt just like this that lasted over 20 years of daily use before it fell apart. The skin is thick and black on both sides. The stitching to hold the front lining may be offset a little. That's maybe even more than the $30 mark I've seen at workwear stores.
