This belt is not woven leather.  Yes, it's leather, but it has been stamped through to look like it's woven. It's not.  I have some beautiful old belts that are actually woven, and this is not.  The other problem is that the silver coating on the buckle is already scraped and chipped, as though it has been sitting around on a hook for quite a while.  It doesn't look like it's been worn, but I've never seen a new belt with a buckle that is already chipped and scratched.  Very disappointing.  Will probably send back.
