This is a Heavyweight 100% Leather Belt, Made in the USA. Excellent quality. Best belt I've ever had, I bought the next size up as advertised and I was at the last hole to tighten the belt. Another hole in the belt could have been used. I bought a set of leather punches to make another hole in the belt and I made this hole off center. A hammer drill would probably work better. Ruined the look of the belt. The best belt I've ever had.
