This belt is VERY stiff and feels more like plastic than leather. I ordered a size larger than my current waist size and it was too loose in the very first buckle hole. Oops, I'm bad. I'll probably look for another belt at a general store to determine the size and quality of the leather. Too bad because my size is really hard to find! This belt probably should have been returned, but due to a lockdown order in New York, Kohl's store was closed and the deadline to return it had expired. At least I couldn't go anywhere that required a belt.
