Having read some of the previous reviews I should have known better. I have this belt, despite warnings from other buyers purchased in the length of 110 cm (well, also because I have to work). Unfortunately, I'm not sure from where to where the length is determined. Certainly that the belt is not equal to the specified length. I have measured the pure leather part (without buckle). Here I came to a length of 128 cm. I think this deviation is beyond any tolerance. As I suspected there could be a single case I have the customer / return service from Amazon emailed and described the situation. It apologized for the wrong delivery (as someone has probably not read correctly), sent with the return documents and told me a new belt to send. You guessed what I guessed? Even the new 110 cm long belt was reportedly again whopping 18 cm long. Even my second complaint was promptly processed by Amazon (we apologized that the new belt was delivered damaged ????). In spite of everything: The belt makes a very solid and robust. I would imagine that he would do his many years service. Only the rather strong smell of leather is, at least in the first few weeks, be quite unpleasant. Conclusion: Only three out of five stars because of the moderate performance of Amazon.
