I have been looking for an actual genuine leather belt for quite a long time. I had gotten very tired of other types of belts stating they were “genuine leather, but the belt had only one thin layer of leather. These cheap bets inky lasting more than two or three months. I needed a REAL belt. When I contacted Buffalo, I was able to see they take pride in making exactly what I needed. The measuring system was accurate and easy to use. I was reassured by other testimonials that these belts are rugged, good quality and well appreciated by other users. I ordered the belt online, received it when promised and it was exactly what I expected. I will buy again.
