I just got this, and wore it immediately. All I can say is, "Wow". It looks and feels like a quality belt -- time will tell  how "quality" it really is. It smells like leather, which may seem like an odd review, but I recently returned a different belt because it had a really odd smell that was rubbing off on my other clothes. So, this one seemed like a winner from the get-go. And, it comes in a nice, drawstring bag for storage or travel. I will likely order more in different colors!
