The belt came packaged in a very nice box along with a key chain. The belt on the reverse side is masked with inches to give you an idea where to cut. A nice addition. It says it's genuine leather, but appears to be PU leather. The outer appears to be plastic which like my previous belt will crack. But for the price of it lays a year of everyday use kill be happy. I wish it were embossed with more of a grain texture.
