I ordered two of these because I was tired of slipping a 1 1/2" wide belt through the loops of my women's jeans. Received them today and was disappointed to see there was no suede on the inside of the belt .Leather surface as I expected but kind of a smooth layer glued or glued to the main layer of the belt.The surface of the inner layer was smooth and shiny and a bit swollen in places.It was definitely not the original leather from the belt.This is called bonded leather because the layers are glued together, over time the layers will separate, I expected this to happen with these straps so I sent them back.
