For some reason, I was expecting this belt to be narrower and a darker red than it ended up being. I like thin belts and so this did not fit the bill. However, it was so cheap in price that it wasn't worth returning. It also appears to be genuine leather as promised, and is thick leather at that.

UPDATE: Because the belt was wider and brighter than I expected, it sat in my closet for a couple years without being worn. When I did have an opportunity to wear it, some of the red color came off after being tried on with my outfit, so I didn't end up wearing it after all. It remains in my closet having never seen the light of day. I'll probably donate it to Goodwill on my next closet purge.

If you need a cheap belt for a costume or short-term wear, maybe this would be okay. But don't expect it to last!
