The leather is smooth and supple, the buckle/clasp are durable and finish is nice. This belt really looks sharp with jeans and a casual sportcoat. I ordered it an inch larger than my normal jean waistline, and it fits nice.
I needed a belt because I purchased 4 new pairs of Double L jeans, an upgrade from waist 32 to 34. However, I lost weight in the buttocks and leg area, and thus needed the belt. I read the sizing instructions, and for the first time, I actually have it right, just two holes in. It looks great, and keeps my pants up! Thank you L.L.Bean for high quality products and pricing!
This belt is really sturdy, and pretty thick. I was worried about the length due to other reviews, but mine measures a perfect 34" middle hole to buckle - just what I ordered. Would definitely buy again.
FIRST TIME I'VE ORDERED A BELT THROUGHT THE MAIL. WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE - MUCH BETTER QUALITY THAN I'D BEEN ABLE TO FIND ON MY OWN. SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I COULD TRUST YOUR MERCHANDISE.
