This has been my go-to belt since I bought it and it replaced the reversible belt that had the brown side peeling off. I couldn't be happier with this belt! Nice supple leather and it holds up very well for frequent use. Will definitely buy again if/when I need a new belt (seems to be lighter but it won't last long!) Oh and it came in a neat cloth pouch. This shouldn't affect your purchasing decision, but is a cool little bonus.
