Bought this in dark brown and I love it so much I've been wearing it every day, whether I'm in jeans or tan slacks. The leather is soft, supple, yet strong and sturdy. I tend to gain and lose significant weight, so I love that I can cut it down when or if I need. When it wears out, just buy another long one, if needed, and don't sweat it if I need to cut it down.It comes with a leather hole punch, but you'll have to supply the mallet or some other weighty tool to actually press out the hole.The fact that the design is consistent throughout the entire length of the belt is also a plus. And I love the width. For my body type and personal style, the width fits perfectly with all my pants and belt loops. Narrower belts look odd and I don't know if it's my taste or something else. I like when the size of the belt loops perfectly match the belt.I'm 5'6", 148 lbs presently, but usually 130 lbs. Body type has a short waist, short legs, long and wide hips and wear 34C or 32C bra depending on my size. I have a subtle hourglass figure, whether I'm heavier or leaner. I bought the 25-34" belt. It came with five punched holes. I usually wear it using the middle or second-to-shortest hole as I'm getting leaner. When I first bought it, I think I was using the second-to-longest hole.
