My husband had a leather money belt that my mother had given him many years ago. On his last trip to Europe he over stuffed the belt with bills. When he returned from his trip the zipper got caught on the money and he had to cut the belt. So I went on the hunt to replace it. I went to the travel store in the mall and found a belt that was cheesy, three times the price, and not nearly as nice as this one ordered from Amazon. It is good quality and will probably last as long as the last belt should have now that my husband has learned his lesson. Once again Amazon comes to the rescue.
