In the clothing accessories market not so friendly to belts that can be used with your own buckles, this is a great find for me. Matching on the spot! And the quality of the strap was the same on both straps I ordered at different times, the second in a smaller size as I wasn't sure if it would fit when I ordered the first. (So I have a belt for the holiday season that is ready to wear without stretching the skin.) The ability to use your favorite belt buckle was the main reason I was looking for this purchase. This is a pretty thin market in retail stores. I might use one about a half inch or an inch wider for specific clothing that's more tactical. The quality and thickness of the leather is very good and offers good grip.
