I have owned variations of these ratchet belts for a number of years. They look very good for their price range from the start. They are sold as leather straps but I suspect the leather part is mostly veneer as they have cracked on the inside over time. I have had COACH leather belts before and the leather is of a very different quality. But for a relatively cheap price of ten to twenty dollars, this is the best you can find. They wear out after a few years, but buying a new one is enough. :)
