Quality Leather belts are a bit like alligator shoes they should last a good amount of time before their demise.  But in today's technologically advance world distinguishing between genuine hide leather and bonded compressed leather belts is not an easy task.. Today in china they take leather shavings and bond them back together put a thin layer of leather on top and sells them extremely cheap prices, Click Here to see example. The problem with compressed leather is that it begins to crack with in a month or two of use and once you sweat the bond between the shaved leather breaks and your belt literally tears. ( It should be retailing at $5.00 but they charge $15 and offer free shipping) its a lot like compressed wood cheap and not very durable. What they are offering is cardboard with a think layer of leather on it.

We believe that a good belt should last 3 to 5 years at the minimum.  Demarco Giovani  Leather Belts are all genuine Italian leather once piece hides with stainless steel buckles, Sold in boutiques around the globe at up to $125.00 a belt.
