I had not realized how hard it was to find a simple leather belt for a 12 year old.  Not bonded leather.  Not faux leather.  Not synthetic with a leather backing.  But a REAL leather belt, through and through.  I think we trekked through 15 stores ... from high end dept. stores to army navy stores to back country hunting stores.  None had leather in the size we needed.

I was so happy to get this.  It is a nice quality belt, thick and durable.  And it won't break at the favorite loop like the last three of his belts have in the last three years.
