You have to take care when buying a belt today. Plastic masquerading as leather, plastic coating leather and various other applications of plastic on leather can easily deceive the shopper looking for a simple, straightforward leather belt, the sort that will give good service for many years. The belt in the photograph above is about fifteen years old and I hope it will give me a further fifteen years. I usually wear it with jeans because, to my eye, the warm-coloured, worn leather and strong buckle go well with faded denim blue.
