Paul Fredrick Men's Genuine Leather Crocodile Embossed Dress Belt with Metal Keeper Tip - Premium Formal & Business Attire Accessory for Office, Wedding & Special Occasions

Too expensiveThis is the second one of these I've owned. The first was great, but this last one I bought was constructed poorly. I wore it once and the metal tip fell off. I returned it for a full refund.I think the thing that will make this belt worth the price is how it ages and how long it lasts. Have to wait and see. Out of the box, it's beautiful.I recently bought two of these belts, one black, the other cognac. They are my second generation purchase of these items. The first was a non-amazon purchase about six years ago.The quality of these belts matched the quality of my earlier purchase at about 66% of the cost.Excellent quality....a great value for money spent.I purchased one of these several years ago and love it. So much in fact, that I decided to purchase a few more in different colors. I have noticed a definite reduction in quality with the newer belts. They appear to be stiffer, run smaller and the metal tips have already fallen off of two of them after a few months of use. I think it’s past the point that I can return them, so am going to see about trying to fix the tips and even if I can’t there is nothing really “wrong” with the belts otherwise where they couldn’t continue being used as it’s an aesthetic thing for the most part. These are still decent belts but definitely are not the same as the belt I initially purchased a few years ago which is one of the more comfortable and stylish belts that I own.Gorgeous and made perfectly. I love it.I highly recommend
