I just received this and looking at it I can see it's made of man made material and the inner lining will deteriorate soon. Wrinkles on the strap indicate poor quality. There are dents on the punched holes. Maybe they oops! not here? The clasp looks great. That's why I gave 2 stars. I don't understand why this belt is rated so highly. There is no stamp on the inside of the belt to indicate it is leather. But don't expect much for the low price. But the ad says it's leather.
