“We have all bought belts claiming to be "leather". We have also often been disappointed to find they were a thin veneer of real leather with a composite backing. This belt is the REAL DEAL. Thick leather, beautifully put together and finished. It will last for years.And PRICE? You get what you pay for! Buy three belts that deteriorate in looks very quickly or buy THIS belt that will outlast every pair of trousers you have and still look good!”
