My initial review of the belt was visually correct and satisfactory as it was exactly what I wanted. After a little over a month of use the buttons holding the buckle are no longer engaged, very cheap. Timberland usually makes durable goods so I decided to ask the seller if this product is genuine. The seller has assured me that this is the case, so I can give this review. Good leather product but the functionality of the belt is only 2. I would NOT recommend buying this product. You may have better luck, but I'm completely dissatisfied because without functionality it's useless to me!
