It is just "ok" The belt itself is a pretty solid sturdy braid and it does stretch. The ends (the leather caps and the buckle) are super lightweight and obviously cheap. You get what you pay for. What bothers to hell out of me is that the fastening prong is gold. Not silver as it looks in the picture, other colors of this belt make it clear that it is gold, the product description doesn't say gold and when I tried to submit this missing piece of information Amazon told me that this information can be found in customer reviews. So I'm adding again so someone else doesn't order this belt and get mad once they receive it. For the price it's a solid belt, you get what you pay for. I wold not even be complaining if it weren't for the gold prong. I'm not returning it because I'm going to try and dismantle an old belt and replace the prong if that doesn't work not much of the prong shows when on anyway (that much of the picture is accurate). As you can tell I seriously dislike gold.
