As others have noted, this is a substantial holster, rugged yet handsome, perfect for a Springfield GI.45 1911A1 I'm buying. I'm 5'7", so the extra 12 inches on the strap make for some excess strap flapping around, and though I don't really want to cut it down, I may have to. It feels comfortable and the bottom strap on the holster can clip to a belt, either directly unde the arm or positioned on the stomach.
Shipping was fast and thankfully without complications (owing to the well-marked value on the documentation), though I would note that it arrived FedEx to Canada when I selected USPS/EMS as my shipping option. I generally loath and avoid couriers since they can charge rip-off "brokerage fees" (think Brown), or if taxes are assessed and you're not home when it arrives, you have to go to some godforesaken part of town to collect it. DHL was used instead of USPS/EMS when I purchased another item in July which led to mucho aggrevation since the driver couldn't find my house; I will from now on include a comment with the order to use ONLY mail service, though this shouldn't be necessary of the shipping method selection means anything. Please take this as constructive feedback.
