This is a quality belt made from sturdy leather with great decorative work, also made from genuine leather.  This belt was made well, and the picture does not do it justice.  The buckle is sturdy, made from real metal.  You can tell its one of those belts you will wear for years.  It has that great smell right out of the box!  Very heavy belt, but sized to fit Dockers or dress trousers.  As with any belt (why this is, I don't know), order a size big for a proper fit.  Well worth the money - you won't be dissapointed.
