So in and of itself the leather strap is great, thick also optically matches (is smoothing / kept shiny) and you get a lot of leather for less money! But with me has the leather belt caused (as a chain) an unusual rash, so I was until now never allergic to leather or never had problems with Leather "chains" or bracelets, but this leather has here treated with special chemicals / tannins which have been (at least for me) allergic reactions produce ... After several showers and ordinary cleaning / soaking it got better!
