“Best belt I have ever owned bar none. The leather is so supple but you can tell it's going to take a lot of abuse. The color is so incredibly rich and textured and I can't wait to put some patina on it. The only thing I noticed in need of some attention is the leather pass-through being a little of a tight fit. At first I couldn't thread the belt end through it without applying a little force. I definitely expect this to loosen with age and use so not a problem at all. The underside is very soft and not rough in the slightest bit, which was a problem with the last belt I had that belonged to a competitor. I can speak to a matter of factly that they are no longer looked at as "competition", because Ashland blows them away.”
