Just got the belt yesterday.  It was packaged and shipped with extraordinary care.  It arrived timely, but then I was in no rush.  As expected it was substantial in weight but not terribly so, I expected that.  The bling factor is dead on, exactly what I wanted.  This belt is NOT leather so I am hoping that it will hold up over time.  The size is true, can be worn in belt loops or not.  I am actually wearing it now with slacks and it is comfortable. It is not for the demure, very provocative...several people have already asked where I bought it.

I like it and can't wait to feature it with jeans.
