I've been very dissatisfied with the rather expensive belts I've purchased in the last few years. They are crap, not even real leather is some cases, and all from China.
I got my Hanks belt about 3 weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier. Excellent quality, real whole leather that's thick and resists stretching the holes out. I wear it every day and to date, no complaints. It feels and looks great, so thank you for such a great product!
