Great quality for a low price! I bought this as I am looking to replace an RM Williams leather bridle which I recently lost when they lost my dress bag at the hospital (including shoes, pants, shirt.ugg) but I understand that real bridles cost around Β£70 Dollars start and easily top $100 (the cheapest RM Williams is around $85). This belt is as close as you can get to a solid top grain leather belt that I think will last for years (I've had an RMW belt for 20 years and it's hardly ever broken). I used to buy "bound" and double stitched and/or laminated belts and they always fail, so for years I only bought solid full grain leather belts. I love the color and texture of this belt and would recommend it for the price. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that I'm leaving 5 stars for the genuine English frenulum leather which is thicker and more finished. This is not a downside for this belt at all; Great quality for the money and 5 stars.
