Review on Timeless Vintage Distressed Leather πŸ•°οΈ Men's Accessories: Elevate Your Casual Style by Ronnie Dabolt

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Buyers beware: these straps appear to be made primarily of cardboardβ€”yes, cardboard, literally.

After a few weeks, the inner surface of the fabric began to crumble. After a few months, blisters formed under the skin's surface. So I cut it open to see what it's actually made of. These straps are made with a thin (1mm) outer layer of genuine leather (which allows the manufacturer to claim that it is "genuine leather"). Between the outer and inner layers of fabric are two thick layers of rubber-coated cardboard. The belt looks great - for about a week and holds a pair of pants great even when they start to fall apart, but my advice to those who want a good leather belt is to go elsewhere. Tandy Leather and Springfield Leather Company seem to be the only ones selling full leather belts. Your belts may be more expensive, but you get a genuine cowhide strip that will look good for decades.
