I purchased a natural shell cordovan Johnny the Fox wallet, black CXL belt and a "horween English Tan Dublin" belt. All arrived promptly and unboxing experience was excellent. The colors and craftsmanship of products were well-represented in online images. Very satisfied with quality of products. My only qualm is with the sizing of my belts from Ashland. I am finding a sizing discrepancy even though I followed the online measurement instructions. By measurements I have selected the closest fit to be 38" (from keeper to center hole). I have 4 belts from Ashland [Tan Dublin and Black, Brown, Color #8 CXL]. I purchased from Grant Stone the Brown CXL and Color #8 CXL a few months ago when the design had circular hole punches and only five holes. The newer belts have shifted to a design with 7 teardrop shaped holes (which I prefer). The three CXL belts are all the same length, but on the older 5 hole pattern I end up using the 4th hole for desired fit. With the newer styled Black CXL I end up well centered in the 4th of 7 for a comparable fit. The black model balances whole placement & fit best. I love the leather of the Dublin belt, but I believe it was either cut too short or mislabeled as a size 38. The Dublin is easily 1.5" shorter than the others. On the Dublin belt #2 of 7 is a little too loose (but not droopy) and #3 of 7 is a little too tight. I guess I can accept the Dublin #3 of #7 feel, but it is kind of a bummer to get a "so-so" feel out of a new $100 belt. The belt is definitely worth $100: rich warm color with great highlights and no doubt would age beautifully; just I probably won't end up using it as much due the feel of fit. Overall satisfied with the purchase experience and likely will purchase from Ashland again in future for a watch band or similar item.
