This is such a nice vintage leather belt. It's a whole grain as advertised and is good for almost everyday use. The weight and thickness of the leather suggest it will stand up to everyday use. It arrived flexibly and can be a problem for those who have to strap heavy things to their belt for work. The belt has a cool casual vintage look that is not easy to find in department stores. I applied a coat of leather conditioner, especially around the holes, to ensure the leather around the most heavily used part of the belt stays supple and moist. I usually do this every 6 months on my most used leather items.
