It's genuine leather which is like plastic leather. For under $20 this will last a while

It's more of a weekend or work belt, the picture looks like it's dressy but on the models it looks less formal. I have a Dickies brand one that I bought from Walmart that looks pretty similar and it's been very durable.

No. "Genuine leather" is actually an umbrella term that can mean full grain. Looking at the pictures, you can tell it's actually full grain or at least close to it. Looks like pretty good quality if you're looking for a decent quality casual belt, or going for a "smart" rugged chino look as you'll see on the BR site models.

Yeah, anything double prong is not dressy.
Looks durable enough for daily wear, at least for a while.

The $14 Dickies belt is $14 as well (surprising!), has a roller buckle, and is a full 1.5" wide. So not really a deal, but it reminds me that my lawnmowing belt is getting to be pretty terrible.

Edit: I knew not to order black, but after reading the recent reviews of the Dickies, I'm just not going to impulse buy a belt today.

That is not true. Genuine leather is not same as full grain leather. Full grain leather is high quality while genuine leather is lower quality. I have many full grain leather bags and they age well (patina).

They are not same, but I noticed many companies/stores use the term, "genuine" as "real" to say "real leather" without realizing "genuine leather" is the low quality leather.

I googled.

"Full-grain leather is the highest quality, using the entire top layer of hide for superior strength, breathability, and natural aging (patina), while genuine leather is made from lower, weaker layers, often processed (sanded/stamped) and coated, making it less durable but more affordable. Full-grain is an investment in longevity, whereas genuine leather is a lower-grade, more common, and less resilient product, despite its name implying quality. "

While genuine leather is lower quality than full grain leather, I don't know what you meant by "plastic leather". Do you mean, genuine leather is like patent leather which has plastic-ish synthetic coating? Belts are not made with patent leather since patent leather shows cracks more easily due to the synthetic coating.

You are incorrect. It's true that full grain is the best. However, the term "genuine leather" is an umbrella term that companies use -- It can mean full grain OR lesser quality. many companies that make full grain leather goods will state "genuine leather" instead of "full grain".

My earlier reply to your earlier comment got messed up.

Here's from Google.

"Full-grain leather is the highest quality, using the entire top layer of hide for superior strength, breathability, and natural aging (patina), while genuine leather is made from lower, weaker layers, often processed (sanded/stamped) and coated, making it less durable but more affordable.

Stores/companies/people are confused and they have been using the terms incorrectly, but full grain leather is not same as genuine leather.

Hi. First , please be aware that not everything you google is factual information. Source is of info important. Fact: full grain leather can be and often is labeled/advertised as "genuine leather." It's an umbrella term that can cover real full grain or cheaper leathers.

Ask leather worker if you don't believe me. The leather store I buy from does not say they sell "genuine leather" because they only sell full grain leather.


Here are some articles you can read about leather qualities:

https://moonsterleather.com/blogs...K_ae7uo85O

"Is genuine leather real leather?
While leather products labeled as 'genuine leather' are technically made using real leather, they are very low quality. Genuine leather pieces are made by stitching leftover scraps of leather together with plastic. The finished product is not durable and is not likely to last for even a fraction of the time that a high quality full grain leather piece would."

https://buffalojackson.com/blogs/...nrlQ6Ltq1D

"Full grain leather vs. top grain leather: What's the difference?
Whether shopping for leather goods at Buffalo Jackson or around the internet, you've probably noticed that products are made with different types of leather. Sadly, many consumers aren't familiar with the terms "full grain" or "top grain," and instead they look for the words "genuine leather." But, if a leather bag or jacket is listed as genuine leather, it's not actually a good sign. At least, not where the leather's quality is concerned. "Genuine leather" has essentially become a catch-all phrase for anything that is technically leather. However, if you're looking for true leather quality, you'll want to look in the direction of full-grain or top grain leather products."


I can go on and on but you get the idea (hopefully). If you buy a full grain leather goods from real leather store, they should not list them as "genuine leather" because they are not same.

If you still don't understand- allow me to simplify. It's like "real chicken". This could mean grass fed organic white chicken breast, or it could mean dark thigh chicken. It's a catch-all umbrella term. Some companies might specify "organic white chicken breast" but others might not.
