I’ve owned numerous belts from several different manufacturers. I’ve had some that claim to be leather & wound up being leather coated artificial nonsense. It’s all-but impossible to find anything made in the USA anymore; unless you want to pay double (or more). This belt is entirely genuine leather, made in the USA, has a roller buckle (which greatly improves longevity), & costs less than most of the name brand products made in whichever communist country has the cheapest labor force this week…
