How to spot genuine leather

It used to be very easy to spot a genuine leather belt from a counterfeit yet now in the midst of the ever so many hybrid crosses when it comes to virtually anything, spotting a good leather belt may not be such an easy mission after all.

Lets start with the basics, often time than not if a product does not say it’s a genuine leather belt, then maybe its not. However there are other tell tale signs to spot the real macoy. Start by checking the surface grain for any imperfections or unique spots you may find, it is these finer details that make it easier to spot quality where leather is concerned. It is highly normal for leather to have wrinkles and creases- this is another way of telling if your belt is genuine leather.

Another easy way to test if your product is made from real leather or not is by smelling it. Real leather more often than not smells like burnt hair whereas synthetic leather has a chemical smell to it that smells like burnt plastic, more so, faux leather will burn when put under an open flame-unlike real leather that will slightly char.
