It is a pretty pattern as pictured, though actual item is a little rougher, more "vintage" with parts of the pattern missing, but still very nice. My only disappointment in this belt is that the edges were left very raw, just dyed as the back. Most leather belts will have a smoothing process done on the edge. Maybe they think it adds to the "vintage" look, but to me it just looks like a project unfinished, cheaply done to save time and money. When I was shopping for a belt my concern was for finding a thick full leather belt that would look nice with a belt buckle. This belt does satisfy that, but I my fancy belt buckle looks a little over the top with the belt's unfinished edge. The snaps look a good quality and I think it will last awhile.
