Wanted a good denim belt and this was the right color, had a nice buckle and was big and tall. Everything worked. When the belt arrived it was rolled up tight and wrapped in plastic. I took the belt out and from that moment on, the biggest thing about this belt was the chemical smell. I had to take it out of the house. I've sprayed odor neutralizer on the belt over 6 times and it's hanging in my garage. I'm not where, the smell is still there and now my garage stinks. A good belt that was mishandled during the tanning process and not allowed to 'cure' before packing. I don't think this belt will ever stop smelling and have sent the belt back.
