Out of the box looks sturdy and cheap but looks good. Goes very well with my maroon/cognac brown shoes. I've worn it maybe 40 times and it just breaks. The outside appears to be leather, while the lining is a mix of recycled (denim?) fabric, fiberglass and cardboard. Not much better than a dozen reversible dress belts from your local tailor, but far from a quality product. You get what you pay for I guess.
