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.

Full grain = natural leather that includes the top most layer which will show all the natural grain. It's premium because natural grain will show all skin defects.
Top Grain = natural leather that has the top most layer removed to eliminate the defects present in the natural grain.
Bonded Leather = fake leather.....or "Vegan Leather" as Ellon likes to call it.....that has leather particles bonded on the bottom layer in addition
Top Grain leather can be smooth or still show grain depending on how much of the natural grain is removed.
These belts aren't bonded leather like you claim, it's 100% solid leather
The reason why police belts are so stiff if because they are full gain.
I have these belts....4-5 years in minimal wear from daily used including IWB holster use.

Well it looks like it actually is OOS now. Hopefully mine doesn't get cancelled.

The stitching on the Fossil belt is purely decorational. It's a solid single piece of leather. I owned that belt of +4 years and use it daily.
