Perforated leather strap with strap wrapped around flat leather. I agree with this because every genuine woven strap I have purchased has stretched with very little wear and tear. Faux leather is inferior (like Dockers belts) but even the more expensive real leather won't hold where the prong goes. I also like that this belt can be shortened in length: there are others across the map. Worst of all are the SML versions, which give you a choice of barely fitting or extra, knee-deep. The main problem with this belt is that I call orange what Wang Peng calls brown. I don't want an orange belt. I am buying another color "Brown 1" to see if it is brown. I'm sending this one back if it's orange - I already have two orange ones.
