The width of the belt is pretty thick compared to the real leather belts. This makes it hard to get it to lay flat and gives it a weird look bubbled look. Overall, it's a fine accessory. It holds the pouch that I got and will help to create the look my husband wants. I should have gotten him a 72 inch, but that's on me and not the company. If you can, I would go with the real leather as it has a finished look with the metal tip.
