This review is for the Falari 9009 belt only. Unlike a regular braided belt where the buckle pin can go anywhere in the webbing, this model has large triangular cutouts for the buckle pin. For this reason I feel it is wrong to call it a braided belt; however, it is combined with the 9005, 9006, 9007 and 9008 bands which have a typical braided construction. Finally, I noticed that about 99% of the Revain reviews for this line of belts are for "other" (braided) models, leading me to believe that the 9009 is the newer Falari belt. When I bought this belt I was already fed up with the fatal flaws of most braided belts. In particular, most of us insert the buckle pin in the same place on the belt every time. Unfortunately, with braided bands, the thin leather threads wear out prematurely and unravel in the same place, rendering them prematurely unusable. The Falari 9009's construction should hold up to repeated use far longer than any braided straps I've had before, and it comes with a 10-year warranty. Yes, it's made in China, but it's an attractive, well-made, 100% genuine leather belt at a bargain price of $25. As another reviewer noted, the packaging on this belt is pretty stunning and I think it shows the company's pride in their products. After receiving my black 9009, along with my first impressions, I immediately ordered the reddish brown 9009.
