I had previously written a very glowing review on these belts, but that was a couple of years ago and I have since completely changed my mind.  I bought several colours and they're almost all in the garbage now.  While they do appear to be genuine leather, all have ripped and torn at the holes and the coloured finish has cracked and peeled off here.  These belts are only roughly $5/piece, so what can one expect.  A disposable product.  I like the versatile style, chrome silver buckle, etc.  But they won't last.  Maybe 2-3 months.  Save the trouble and buy yourself a proper leather belt somewhere else.  The last thing the planet needs is more garbage piling up.
