There was a time when it was easy to find a quality leather belt at an affordable price - or maybe I just dreamed it was true. Even if you can find an open store, the selection of belts is so limited and the quality so poor that it seems hopeless. Too often "leather" belts are made from the skin of something industrial. After a few months those belts fall apart, they don't hold up your pants anymore and they look awful. These docker belts appear to be of very high quality, look good and look like they will last a long time. So I now have four of these (costs me less than 1.5 belts I bought (and threw away)).
