This is a belt made in China by a Chinese company. I just hate the blatant lies that are so typical of Chinese sellers. This belt is NOT REAL LEATHER. Who do you think you're fooling? The belt is a quality belt at a reasonable price as it is made of PU leather. WHY DO CHINESE SELLERS FEEL THE NEED TO INTERMEDIATE/LIE? "The advantage of choosing high-quality genuine leather is that it only has a slight natural taste, say goodbye to the discomfort of inferior cowhide or synthetic leather."
