This is exactly the type of belt that I was looking for. At this price point, I wasn't expecting much - and that's exactly what I got.

The hardware on this belt is just OK: It uses a spring mechanism to stay closed, and I don't expect it to last. In addition, the hardware buckle arrived scratched & dented. But what's worse is the belt itself. The belt smells to high heaven - it's a chemical smell. After three days of airing it out, the smell remains & has not changed. This goes back. Unfortunately, I'm paying shipping both ways, which almost makes it not worth it to return. In fact, due to the scratches on the hardware & the strong chemical smell, I consider this a defective product. As a result, I don't recommend this item or this seller.

With a bit of searching, I picked up a name-brand, leather skinny belt at a major department store for less than this one after shipping & tax. In other words - I did better by l@@king around a bit more.
