I am very happy with this belt. The last belt I bought was "genuine leather" and it broke in half after 1 year of regular wear. This belt is made of full grain leather. The finish is excellent. The hardware seems very solid, but can be replaced if desired. Not sure about the recommendation to go 2 inches up as it seems a bit large.
