Real leather and actual braided belt. Sizing chart was perfect in selecting the correct belt. Very high quality, great packaging. Even though i have the stretch belt from walmart.

Cheap brittle leather. Wish they would spend more on the belt and less on the packaging. The buckle is very sturdy and the belt looks like it should last for years -- but, alas, it's falling apart very quickly.

The desired color is cordovan. The gray is a painted on coating that will easily wrinkle and peel off. What you are getting is a belt that is gray on the outer and underside of the braid but dark in between the braids.

Leather is not a tight weave like other belt i owned for over 15 years. Worn only 2x in 18 months. Already fraying and coming apart after 3 months. Do not trust the size chart.
