The exterior of the metal parts (buckle and strap end) have a nice matte paint that feels rubberized. I've already managed to nick that through to metal, so I expect the buckle to show wear soon.

All the parts work smoothly as they should, no slipping.

The strap measured a little over 45" before I trimmed off a few inches (off the end without the metal tip, of course). You want at least a couple inches to come through the buckle to look normal, so I'd say this fits up to a 43" waist. (A true 43" waist. If you wear size 43 pants, you probably have closer to a 45" waist, because pants these days tend to be oversized there.)

The logo is inconspicuous on the buckle, and it can be turned inward on the belt end.

I like this kind of belt because it can be adjusted to exact fit.

Care instructions on tag say "Do not wash, wipe clean."
