Since this belt was so inexpensive, I thought it would probably be cheaply made.  I was so wrong.  This belt is made of sturdy, classy looking leather, which is good and thick, but not to thick!  The buckles are nice sized, instead of those little pretty looking ones on most dress belts.  I can use these for dress and casual.  These belts are exactly what I was looking for.  I ordered it in black and in brown, and they came exactly the color I'd hoped for, and look exactly as shown in the photos.  I could not be happier with these belts.  I have only had them for about a month, so I cannont yet attest to how they last, but I expect them to last long, due to the quality of leather and metal.  I will be ordering a couple more of the brown, so I can have one for my shorts, jeans, and my dress slacks.  Great price too!
