A great belt for jeans and casual slacks. The leather is soft, the buckle is heavy duty and sturdy. I expect to have this belt a long time. The shotshell is quite a conversation piece.
The belt was beautiful and my hubby loved it! Unfortunately...the buckle failed and it completely fell apart within two weeks of purchasing. These things happen but I am very disappointed especially since I was the one to recommend he buy one at L.L.Bean in the first place!
