Phil thank you for inviting a review - Like everything else at Ashland Leather, you're timing is perfect - Since we met, I've purchased two belts, two watch bands and a wallet - Plus, from our conversations, we've discovered a number of friends and colleagues in common who share Ashland's commitments to high standards and, in the process, raising our own standards - Just today, I sold an Hermes belt I purchase in 1995 - Why? It's nowhere near the leather quality and workmanship available at Ashland - Hermes is now more of a Sears leather store and I'm glad to say that I've outgrown it - So pleased to have Ashland in my life - All my best, Mike
