This belt is awesome. it obviously isn't a pressed glued and stiched togeather belt.  it is one sold peice of leather.  the buckle is nice and strong and sturdy.  I have lost some weight recently and I had to drill some more holes in the belt so I could pull it tighter.. this belt took it all with stride and no issues.  I normally go though belts because I am stupid and buy the cheap ones.. no more.. all my future belts (when I loose even more weight) will come from this place.
