This is a slim Armani belt. I purchased it to go with white pants for the summer season and used it about three times during one season. There are no noticeable scratches on either the metal or the belt itself. The luster of the leather part of the belt is especially beautiful. This is probably due to the fact that it has been stored in a closet away from sunlight. As shown in the last image, there is one spot where the belt bends when fastened, but I think it's hardly noticeable. I think it's a very stylish belt. Thank you.
