Very good belt with good construction and nice buckle. It was easy for me to follow the instructions and cut it to my exact size. On the other hand, the smell of leather was so strong that it could be heard from across the room. I've tried everything over the past week or two including leaving it out for a few days, rinsing it out and finally keeping it in a bag of baking soda for a few days. I think I'm very close to wearing it regularly without offending others.
