True craftsmanship cannot be found in any leather product. Especially at a low price. This Trafalgar belt was an exception. This particular belt was made in Italy, and the quality of the leather, the meticulous dyeing process, not to mention the thin, straight stitches that bisect the belt are more reminiscent of the artisan days than of AI machines somewhere in China that Dozens of spinning belts in a minute. Great belt (look no further)...you won't be disappointed.
