I've read reviews on other belts that the brown trim on leather scratches very easily, but I didn't see that with this product before I bought it. So here it is mine save the heartache for those looking for a leather belt. The 'corners' of said shape have already been removed from the dark brown, leaving the leather belt striped throughout! To see what I'm talking about. I'm sure the leather is durable, but the beautiful brown finish is just the result of cheap Chinese craftsmanship.
