I am more than happy to give this belt 5 stars! From the moment I opened this package I was lavished with quality. The belt came packaged in a stylist cylindrical tin. I don't buy belts too often but I usually buy them off the rack from a brick and mortar store and usually the're just on a little hook. This belt came wrapped in form fitting plastic and coiled inside the tin. They took great care to preserve the beauty of the fine, smooth finish on the belt. The buckle was also wrapped, you can feel the quality as the buckle had some weight to it. The finish was smooth and satin without any signs of blemish or imperfection. The whole belt gave me a sense of 'stoutness' strong and durable yet handsomely styled. I put off buying a new belt for a long long time due to my revolving weight manifestation. I could never decide what size to get, who knew what size I was going to be in the next three months. What another thing I love about this belt, the makers knew exactly what I was concerned about...they provided instructions and provided a cutting tool to add more belt buckle holes should you lose weight. So now IF my waist gets smaller, I can shorten my belt and still make it look like I bought it that way! Thank you guys for adding those little extras, they go a long way. If anything, it let's me know you guys care about your consumers! I will definently buy from you again and I will highly recommend you to all of my friends and family. Well done!
