My mom bought it for my 13 year old nephew. Looks like high quality leather. Ratchet is a cool idea. He didn't have to cut the entire length of the strap, so he can't comment on that aspect of the strap. If you are thinking of an adult you can look at other reviews to see how it holds up on men who use it as a belt "at work" like my nephew only uses it at school and church carries. Otherwise the quality seems good for the price.
