This is my second belt from this company and the first one, brown, was great in every way. And the second belt, dark brown, was also very well made! A nice belt. BUT the problem is I can't wear it for long because when it arrived it was still soaked in neatsfoot oil I guess! It was still damp and smelled so bad I hung it outside to dry and air out for over 10 days. It's getting better but I have to wait a few more days before I can wear it. Too bad, not good for your business.
