“I bought a Lasso band in brown about 2 years ago and it was beautiful - the leather weave was thick and was a rich brown color. It felt and looked substantial - loved it! Unfortunately, it fell off my hat during a gust of wind and I wasn't able to find it. So I recently bought this new brown Lasso band as a replacement and it's totally different. The color is now a lighter brown with a thinner weave. It also has a plastic-like finish on the leather that gives the impression of faux leather. Sorry, I wanted to love this new band, but I don't.”
