The first belt I ordered wasn't very good for the money while the stitching didn't follow the footprint of the sewing foot on the belt. See photos. I contacted Yoder and they said it was normal in the manufacturing process. I sent the belt back and ordered the same one and the stitching is much better. Overall I am happy with the quality, style and thickness of the leather. I have to admit I was no more disappointed with Yoder's quality control. The Amish have always been famous for their quality goods.
