Very disappointed with the quality of the leather which was not 100% leather in some places. For the price, I was expecting soft, supple leather, but instead this is probably the stiffest strap I've ever had. It's not even easy to put on because I'm trying to tighten it at the hole, the stiffness prevented me from making fine adjustments. Somehow I doubt the leather will ever soften with more wear. I absolutely cannot recommend this belt.
