Great quality for the price. I used to buy "bound" and double stitched and/or laminated belts and they always fail, so for years I only bought solid full grain leather belts. I really like the color and texture of this belt; It's comfortable (although I had to add a hole because I'm losing weight due to illness) and I'd recommend it for the price. The only reason I give it 3 stars is because the only straps that deserve 4 or 5 stars for me are the harness or English bridle leather which is thicker and more finished. This is not a downside for this belt at all; normal quality for this money. I bought this as I am looking for a replacement for a leather RM Williams bridle belt which I recently lost when they lost my dress bag at the hospital (including shoes, pants, shirt, uggs) but I understand such a belt would start at around $70 and easily exceed $100. So, less money, good quality, I'm satisfied.
