After shopping around in bunch of stores and here on Amazon, I decided to take a chance on this belt. I have 2 other Columbia belts and a ton of coats and jackets by them, so I know they rock. This belt is no exception, it is an excellent belt and here's why...

At first I didn't think I would like the synthetic upper. As it turns out, it's much durable then a genuine leather upper. It hasn't marked up or ripped like my other belts in this class. My pics tell the real story, but for me - I like the "I'm not real shinny look" this belt has. There is a tad more room with this belt, so for me that was a plus as my other belts are a little too tight with a dress shirt and slacks. It's also not as stiff as my other Columbia belts - I can't find anything to dislike about this belt and plan on getting another one in brown.

All in all, this Columbia Men's Trinity 35mm Feather Edge belt was exactly what I was looking for. Great Belt!
