In short, this is a beautiful, timeless buckle and belt. The workmanship of the belt matches its price and it looks beautiful except there is a mark on the belt itself (see photos) and to be honest it was a breach of contract for me as it is a misrepresentation of what is shown in the listing , and with that said, I don't like it and won't wear it. When you buy a plain black shirt don't expect to get a black shirt with some print on the chest even a dark metallic gray and barely noticeable you just don't want it there. Shame as the product is not bad at all and I received another belt from Holmanse which looks great and is shown in the listing. Otherwise it would be 5 stars in this price range.
