The cheapest leather we could find. It will arrive and look great within a few days of wearing it. I believe the good reviews were written during this 2-3 day honeymoon. Or they are fake. After the 3rd day or so it started to wrinkle and after 5 uses it looked worse than the 5 year old belt I was trying to replace. waste product. Well, if you arrange a one-day photo shoot. Terrible when looking for a belt that can actually be worn as it was on mine and still is.
