Purchased the cognac. Pretty color, on the darker side of cognac, almost close to a light brown.  Other reviewers had mentioned its lighter than pictured so maybe the belts vary. Too bad I didn't get a lighter one to match my light cognac shoes, but the belt matches the photo in my case, so five stars.
Its a bonded leather belt like most dress belts. Nothing wrong with that. It would look great with dress clothes.

Made in China but the quality seems good and the length is exactly what my other belts are with 7 belt loop holes.  Hit the Helpful button if this was helpful to you.

Update: Ive owned this belt for over 2 months and it still looks new and has softened up a bit and fits even better than new.  I wear mine often for work with dress clothes or drinks afterward.  Im not sure what other reviewers had done to destroy their belts but Im sure it wasn't that.  These are dress belts for casual or dress clothes and use.  For Rugged use, yard work, or anything else, buy a genuine leather belt; there are many good ones from Dickies, Carhartt, Timberland, etc for more rugged use for sale on Amazon.

Ill update again in a couple of months.
