Back in college I bought a Geoffrey Beene belt from Filene's that I LOVED, similar price point and excellent quality. Looked remarkably similar to this, at least in the picture.

Alas, Filene's has gone out of business or purchased by Macy's or something, and Geoffrey Beene apparently now sells cheap belts at the same $20-$30 price point. This is not real leather, the buckle feels flimsy, and the appearance is cheap looking in person. You can get similar quality for $10 at a department store.

Fortunately Amazon has a great return policy on clothing and accessories, I promptly sent this back and will never buy a belt online again.
