This is exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy enough not to stretch or roll, but good enough for everyday wear. Be sure to note the size information. My waist is about 35 inches and I have a 38 inch belt because I think there is no way to add 4 inches, that's right. The. It still fits snugly in the 3rd hole but I think a 40" would be better. The color is much lighter than the picture. But with some leather care it darkened nicely. I actually prefer the color after conditioning advertised color.The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the color difference.
