I ordered this to replace a similar Trafalgar belt that was showing wear. At the same time I also have an Allen Edmonds belt for 100 for comparison Ordered US dollars.Allen although Edmonds is made in USA and Trafalgar is made in China, it turned out that the original quality of the Trafalgar was much better.Both the leather and the buckle of the Trafalgar looked better and higher quality.However the quality seems to have dropped since I bought my old Trafalgar about 10 years ago which was made in the USA and had a solid brass buckle made in Italy. The new belt looks great from the start but we'll have to see how it ages .
