Review on Frye Mens 38MM Leather Black Men's Accessories for Belts by Vinay Mickel

I have had a number of Fry branded items and they have all been of excellent quality and have lasted a long time. This belt is a pretty decent belt but could use better craftsmanship. My main issue is the back of the strap. The skin is not smooth, it is actually painted black and the paint is cracking (shown in the photo). I was expecting it to be a bit thicker and with a better leather finish. Otherwise the size is right and it looks nice with the faded buckle.
