Leather belts
Most belts sold in the world are made of leather, and most of them are made of thick, solid cow hide. Cow hide is stable, available in sufficient quantities, and cattle hides are large enough to produce belts with a waist size of 1.7 metres. Mostly vegetable tanned leather is used because of the higher filling ability of the vegetable tannins making it strong and solid enough for a belt. Frequently belts have decorative embossing, stitching or braiding.
In China belts are produced at a very low cost and therefore sold at a very low price. Cheap belts often consist of several layers. Some layers are then made of cheaper materials such as cardboard, foam or plastic. Check carefully whether it is really a sturdy belt or even real leather.
