The leather appeared to be of high quality and the black color did not have the bad odor that some less expensive leathers seem to have. The felt pouch was nice and the extra piece of metal to make a new hole in the leather if the strap is too big or too small. But my only disappointment was the cast metal used for the metal buckle - the single prong of the buckle broke in just a week of use. I looked at the item and realized that it was most likely related to the type of metal and not a specific defect (or my waistline, lol).
