So with this belt I didn't just get the belt it came in the box. Inside that box was a very nice suede drawstring bag. The belt went in there and came with a punch and pins AND instructions! Make another hole for the buckle. This attention to detail is incredible. I am totally shocked by this price. (or at all) Haven't used the belt yet as it's only been a day but the packaging etc. I thought it exceeded my expectations and it's really RARE. The leather strap appears to be of good quality and feels/smells/looks as good if not better than anything else in this price range. Give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
