Just got this belt and wow, it looks way more expensive than it is! The leather feels solid, and the buckle has a nice weight to it. Definitely a sharp addition to my work outfits.

BUT—this thing is STIFF. Like, 'stand-up-on-its-own' stiff. My old Italian belts were buttery from day one, so this took some breaking in. After a week of wear, it's starting to loosen up though.

Size tip: The chart lies. I'm a 36 waist but the 38 left me with 5 inches of floppy belt tail. Exchange for your exact pant size unless you wanna look like you're wearing your dad's belt.

For the price? 8/10. Not luxury leather, but way better than department store junk. Just don't expect it to last 15 years like my J.Crew relics.
