Timberland Men's Leather Belt 40mm - Durable Genuine Leather Dress & Casual Belt for Everyday Wear

Update March 7, 2019:I've worn the belt about once a week (perhaps a bit less) and it has held up very well.Original PostMy initial impressions are this is a vice belt that is a good value (I just received it).First, I measured the belt width and it is exactly 40mm, as claimed in the description.Second, I started poking and probing the interior (non-showing) end with a knife. As far as I could determine, it is a solid piece of leather and not some type of 'bonded leather' (which means some weird combo of leather and plastic). I specifically checked this because of a recent bad experience with a bonded leather belt that peeled.My initial plan was to use this as a work belt. And so I don't drive you as crazy as some of the other reviewers (well intentioned, I'm sure) drove me, I'll tell you that my 'work' is an office environment. I wear dress slacks (Brooks Brothers Model 1818 slacks) and a button down shirt. Basically, suit pants without the suit jacket and tie. This belt might be a bit too casual for a suit in a formal environment, but I thought it looked appropriate enough for (formal-ish) business casual. Visually, I think it would have been fine. However, the width of the belt was a bit too wide for my dress pants. It just fit through the loops without really any spare room. So, it didn't work for me as intended. I did not take any stars away from my review for this, since the width of the belt was exactly as described.I'm now using this belt for my jeans (Levi 501s). I checked the belt-loop fittings and it fits with the appropriate amount of wiggle room. This belt is a very good style match for jeans. It looks good enough that it would look good for a higher style level than jeans, but I can't tell you if it would fit in the belt loops of pants in between jeans and suit pants (or Brooks Brothers 1818 slacks) since I don't own any pants in between jeans and dress slacks (I'm not a khakis guy).The buckle is simple and understated, which I like. The quality looks and feels good.There are 5 holes in the belt. I wear pants with a waist measurement between a 31" and 33" and the hole that the belt uses is the one that is one skinnier than the middle one. So, I would say that the sizing is pretty good to maybe a bit tighter than expected (which worked out fine for me).Given the price and quality, I would say this belt is an excellent value. I'd love to find a similarly good value in a smaller (less width) dress belt, but I cannot fault the belt for not being what I wanted. It was just as advertised and is very nice.I'll try to remember to update this review after I've used it for 6 months or so. If it holds up well, it will have earned all 5 stars.
