No, they are contradictions of terms.

I've not ever seen a full grain leather dress belt before (though that doesn't mean they don't exist). Shiny and smooth belts have plastic bonded to "genuine leather", which is a garbage leather and not used for the actual appearance.

Top grain is just that, the top layer of cowhide, with some layers beneath cut out (to be used for genuine leather junk). Full grain is the entire cowhide, which is thick and can be unsuitable for things like a dress belt.

This belt is bonded plastic to what I assume is "genuine leather"; the lowest grade of leather that simply acts as the physical belt while the plastic is the veneer applied to the surfaces.

Plastic belts wear out quickly, which is why you want to get them for cheap and replace them often.

I bought the black belt. I'm not really sure how to wear a purple or maroon belt, do you still need to match with the shoes?

They said "Griffin Belt is made of full-grain genuine leather."
Genuine leather is one of the cheapest grades, so that's still somewhat confusing.
Real full-grain leather is very stiff and not a great material for a belt imo.

This belt looks like the same one target sells with their house brand. And it was $9.99. After 3 years, it's still going strong.

Isn't full grain a sub-category of genuine leather?

For $11 I just ordered a brown one to see how well it matches my shoes.

How are these compared to the ones on amazon? If you wear 31' or 32' shorts and jeans, you should get 34' correct? I always bought 32' belt even though I wear 31' shorts and jeans.

How is the leather quality compared to the cheap ones on Ebay, and an OG Coach belt??

The leather quality on this belt should be similar to other brands like Perry Ellis and Columbia which of course isn't all that great. It's probably just bonded leather. Most cheap designer brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Kenneth Cole have all switched to using synthetic leather so this Fossil belt is certainly better.

False. I own these belts, they are 100% solid leather.
