I ordered this to replace a similar Trafalgar belt that was showing wear. I also have an Allen at the same time Edmonds orders $100 belt for comparison.Although Allen Edmonds is made in USA and Trafalgar in China, the original quality of the Trafalgar turned out to be much better.Both the leather and the buckle always looked better on the Trafalgar.The Quality seems to have dropped since I bought my previous Trafalgar which was made in the USA and had a solid brass buckle made in Italy about 10 years ago. The new belt looks good but we'll have to see how it ages.
