This is the third or fourth belt I have bought but this one is different. Within the first week the skin started to peel off and now it's almost the entire belt. I'll buy some leather glue and see if I can fix it, or maybe get a friend to sew it up. So far these belts have been great. I wore them to work every day and there was only normal wear and tear, but this one is of much lower quality and I really hope I got a one-off lemon. although I haven't decided yet if I'll ever buy it again.
