This is an excellent leather belt made to hug me tight around the waist all year long! The stitching is very well done; this belt should last me for quite some while and I do recommend it.

The buckle and the stitching, along with the rest of the design, make this belt perfect for both casual and "dressy casual" occasions. I don't know that you would necessarily want this for former occasions but it might do if you're caught short without a belt for former wear.

My only disappointment is that this belt is just not available for big and tall guys. In fact, with my being a larger guy I absolutely had to go for the 42 inch size, although maybe that's a good thing because with it being just a bit snug it will remind me not to eat so much!

Overall, this is one well made belt. I agree with the other reviewer who writes that they don't know why this belt doesn't have a higher selling rank on Amazon, at least as of the time I am writing this.
