I was looking for a good quality branded belt for my father and this one totally exceeded my expectations. Received in a beautiful packaging with box, bag and pads to protect the buckle and belt. The seams are perfect, the threads don't stick out. The quality seems very good, much better than the regular brands at a small fraction of their prices. It doesn't smell like plastic at all or anything weird. Totally worth the price I paid. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend.
