Great quality, especially for the price. The white stitching adds a nice touch visually. I wear a size 30 pants, and the size 32 belt fits me perfectly.

So before i bought this belt, i owned and used 1 belt previosuly for over 8 years. It was a Fossil belt i bought on base. Great belt, it held up through rain, snow, heat, and mud. No problems. over time it stretched out, and started breaking apart and became increasingly difficult to wear it also embarrassing. So that prompted me to go on the hunt for a replacement belt that didnt cost me $50 like the Fossil did. I came across this belt here. Great price, worst case the quality isnt good, i didnt break the bank buying it so i can find another. Well, i got it and man... It came inside a fabric bag with a leather tie, inside had a card of certification, who made it, forged it and QC'd for quality, stamped and signed, and a lifetime warranty?? The feel of the leather is amazing, its tight but stretchy. and you can tell the care was put in when they made it. It also came with a small playing card from the country it was made in which was a nice touch.

I was worried about ordering this belt after seeing all of the various reviews stating it was a lighter, suede belt. The one I received and have been wearing for a couple days is of good quality... And I managed to get the size just right. ** I typically wear a size 33 waist in pants, and I ordered the size 32 belt, as I knew it would have a few extra inches on either side of my selected belt size. ** This turned out to be the exact fit I needed. I still have a couple holes left to loosen it, or tighten it. That being said, you could always add another hole or two if you end up beefing up for winter!The leather is indeed dark brown, and looks and feels like it will hold up well, although it isn't distressed and worn looking like it shows in the pics. I'll update this review if it doesn't hold up well to constant wearing.My only real beef with this is, again, the buckle is a very shiny metallic style... Very much unlike the buckle shown in the picture. I prefer a worn look for casual dressing, so I may take some fine sandpaper and scuff it up a bit, or I may just let it do its thing and wear a bit on its own.I still think this has a decently casual look, and it can still pass with a less casual look. Overall, I find this to be a good price point for what you get. I do think the seller should change the pictures to more accurately show the product you will actually receive.

As others mentioned - sizing is bizarre. Luckily there's a popular review that lists a sizing guide and a guide-to-using-the-guide, because none of it makes any sense at all. I'm a 34 waist, recommended size was like 38, and I ordered a 32. Probably could've gone 33-34, but it fits.Belt is definitely leather. Buckle is solid, which is important. Stitching is nice.I prefer a slightly thicker belt, but I'm hoping the longevity reviews are valid here - maybe this is good enough that it'll last with minimal stretch even though it's slightly on the thin side. It's not as thin as a similar-priced walmart/target belt, but it's not as heavy as the Columbia recommended alternative (which is 2-layer, with an inner ribbing of some reinforcement material - and quite sturdy).That said, it's more comfortable than a thicker belt and it doesn't stretch when cinched up.I doubt I'd hang tools off it, but for daily wear it does seem like a great value.The little custom keychain in the package is adorable as well - "handmade with latin american love". Packaging, while it doesn't affect the quality of the belt, was a nice touch - belt came properly rolled and tied up with a leather scrap, along with a quality/manufacturer info card, the keychain, and another maker's-mark-tag. Surprising little personal touch, again above and beyond the price.Honestly - all this said, I'd probably just buy two and rotate them more often. Two is cheaper than any other heavier-weight belt, and it does seem like the quality is above average. 5 stars, for sure.

Very nice quality. A good durable everyday doft leather belt. I love it

This is an ok belt, but not what I thought it would be. First impression upon opening the envelope was "Damn it's small!" After tearing through the numerous layers of tape and plastic in an attempt to get to the canvas bag, I finally get it open to see it's all coiled up. I get it untied and roll it out to a really super soft leather belt. I looks nice, the buckle is really nice, but it apparently runs large? I ordered a 36" assuming it would be two sizes smaller than a previous belt I had ordered in 38", but it's the same size. With it being really soft leather, my concern is it stretching a lot with daily wear hence ordering a smaller belt so I would have a few holes left to use as it stretched and I fluctuate in weight/size from summer to winter (We all eat a lot during the holidays lol). I'll keep it and wear it with snugger fitting pants as It is a really nice belt, just thought the size ran true and was of a stiffer, thicker leather.
