The belt arrived in beautiful premium packaging which makes a great gift. However, the finish of the metal buckle is nondescript and the tanned leather surface feels thin. I hope the tanned leather coating doesn't wear off quickly, but I've had other straps like this one that didn't last long. The leather itself is strong and heavy. and together with the metal buckle, this belt is good for concealed carry. The size was just right. Overall I think three stars is the most I can give.
