Great quality, especially for the price. The white stitching adds a nice touch visually. I wear a size 30 pants, and the size 32 belt fits me perfectly.

Very nice quality. A good durable everyday doft leather belt. I love it

Looks accurately as shown in pic. There are seven eyelets, spaced approximately one inch apart. The waist size I ordered I think is irrelevant to the point which is : who gets a belt they must use the last, or at the very least, the next to last, eyelet to fasten/close the belt ?If I just finished eating generous portions of a hearty meal, still maybe a bit bloated, I would use the 2nd before final eyelet of this belt at the waist size ordered. Otherwise, I have to fasten the belt shut using the very last eyelet. I have the lean angular torso, flat hard abs, trim tennis player body type, and my avg body weight hasn't varied more than 5-10 lbs in 30+ yrs, so it's not like I need 5-6 extra eyelets in case I swell up like a pufferfish and need the extra slack to proudly accomodate my new and progressively expanding girthy paunchy potbelly.That eyelet issue really ticked me off, because other than that red flag, this belt, for a leather product, is soft & pliable and noticeably comfortable from the moment I tried it on the first time. If you've dealt with certain leather works before like belts, shoes, etc you know how common it is for them to be awkwardly stiff until eventually the leather becomes "broken in".So, just on the strength of the feel, how comfortable it is, and very easily slides thru belt loops, still being fair and giving a well deserved 4 STARS.I didn't rate the "Durability" since I haven't owned it long enough for that yet.JUST BE WARY WHAT SIZE YOU ORDER - without the benefit of this review you might find yourself resorting to using the last two eyelets of whichever size you order ! ! !

They run large so you may have to re-order a size smaller than normal.

Several reviews said almost 1/4" thick. It is 3/64" thick. Barely under 1/8" thick. So it will carry a .38 or micro 9mm. That's it. It will hold up my pants.....

As others mentioned - sizing is bizarre. Luckily there's a popular review that lists a sizing guide and a guide-to-using-the-guide, because none of it makes any sense at all. I'm a 34 waist, recommended size was like 38, and I ordered a 32. Probably could've gone 33-34, but it fits.Belt is definitely leather. Buckle is solid, which is important. Stitching is nice.I prefer a slightly thicker belt, but I'm hoping the longevity reviews are valid here - maybe this is good enough that it'll last with minimal stretch even though it's slightly on the thin side. It's not as thin as a similar-priced walmart/target belt, but it's not as heavy as the Columbia recommended alternative (which is 2-layer, with an inner ribbing of some reinforcement material - and quite sturdy).That said, it's more comfortable than a thicker belt and it doesn't stretch when cinched up.I doubt I'd hang tools off it, but for daily wear it does seem like a great value.The little custom keychain in the package is adorable as well - "handmade with latin american love". Packaging, while it doesn't affect the quality of the belt, was a nice touch - belt came properly rolled and tied up with a leather scrap, along with a quality/manufacturer info card, the keychain, and another maker's-mark-tag. Surprising little personal touch, again above and beyond the price.Honestly - all this said, I'd probably just buy two and rotate them more often. Two is cheaper than any other heavier-weight belt, and it does seem like the quality is above average. 5 stars, for sure.
