The leather part is questionable, maybe a small stripe, but there is a coating on the straps from China. For some reason it went bad within two months. This has happened to me twice now so I will stop buying belts made in China. In the past I've had belts from the same manufacturers that I've had for a little over two months. I have now received a Timberland belt that says it is 100% cowhide leather. So if it seems more durable, I'll consider it.
