Top Quality and Elegant
Cordovan belts are generally going to be of high quality, given the expensive base material, and because its scarcity means only a limited number of leather makers are going to be producing goods with it. Kreis is no exception here, but unlike most others I've seen, this belt, in particular, has a beautiful roller buckle with a slight curve that adds to its depth and richness. Most U.S. cordovan shops employ standard rectangular buckles that are fine, but have less character than this one. I believe the style of the Kreis buckle also gives it more diversity of use, from casual to dress occasions.
