The belt came in a nice gift-worthy box.  The belt and buckle came wrapped and well protected inside the box so the they don't get scratched during shipping. Upon inspecting the belt I noticed right away that I got a good deal and great item. This belt is so much better than traditional belts. The main problem with traditional belts with hook and holes is that the holes get stretched overtime giving your belt that ugly, old, worn out look. With ratcheting system thats not gonna happen. I understand some would by a belt for their brand but for some who is looking for a better more functional belt I highly recommend this. It has a very nice executive look and it looks expensive but it cost less than most traditional belts. The belt comes long and you can easily cut it to your desired length. The leather seems to be a decent quality and the buckle locks and releases well. I will be using this kind of belt from now on.
