My photo shows why you buy Allen Edmonds over cheap stuff. If you look at the attached picture and don't understand what I'm talking about, that's fine. you make yourself Drink Jim Beam, hang out on the Florida Georgia Line and eat Bud Light. For those of you who love and appreciate the difference between fine craftsmanship and the junk straps you buy online for $30, I highly recommend spending a little more on this strap. I've got Allen Edmonds belts and shoes, which I've worn in the heat and humidity of Georgia for ten years, and I'm staying stylish. This belt looks great, meets your expectations and is built to stand the test of time.
