Hands-on mix of cardboard, sponge and paint. It smells too. There is no leather stamp on the belt. The stock photos show a cool buckle, but even that looks like just a coating. I will not wait for the rest to be erased like in a photo. A buckled belt screw is cool, but you can't replace the buckle, so why did they use some weird trick. Anyway, they got in touch so I've changed my rating to 5 stars as it's refundable. PS There are no bison in China
