The first one of these I bought was great. It looks great, it's strong, and it's durable. It was made of quality leather and I wore it almost every day. After about 2 years, it got scuffed up and began to look too ratty so I got a new one just or so I thought. The reality is that they cut back on the quality of the leather to save money I assume. The first belt was made of thick leather front and back, the newer ones are made with a very thin layer of leather while the majority is a paper or cardboard compound. After just being worn a few times it starts to crack and break and tear away from the thin layer of leather. Like a fool, I thought it was a fluke and got yet a third belt which was just as bad as the second.

Unless they step up and start making belts equal in quality to the price they charge I will be  staying away from Mark Ecko.
