Nice belt, what else can you expect for so little money. Feels like leather, but really disgusting cheap leather. But it's a durable piece, probably just a cheap skin. I wear size 3 pants and ordered a size 3 belt because it was somehow better, but I only got as far as the very last hole in the belt. I would recommend getting one size larger than your pants. The curve where the buckle goes is thick, which is good, you want it to withstand the stress of tension.
