I've had 2 of the "REAL" Tommy Hilfiger belts , a black and a brown, that I purchased from an upscale men's store 4 years ago and they're great. I purchased this belt on Amazon as they're hard to find these days and was looking forward to receiving it. When I opened the package, the smell of bad rubber or plastic was evident. This is not an original Tommy Hilfiger belt, but a cheap imitation. The Amazon ad states hand laced leather belt, but embossed on belt it says "IMITATION LEATHER" See attached photo. I put a little talcum powder on the letters so writing can be seen easier. Don't waste your money on this.
