Strap does not look, appear or say it is English bridle leather as advertised. I could send you a scanned image so you can see that these are "PREMIUM GENUINE LEATHER" claims only from the leather company YODER. It is not English bridle leather. I did not return the belt because the process would have taken too long. However, I would be very grateful if I could have an English leather bridle as compensation for my anger and inconvenience. Many Thanks. dr Karl HΓΆrmann
