Avoid purchasing this item. The description on the website indicates that the material is full-grain leather. I received it today and it's actually made of genuine leather (see attached photo). Genuine leather is of poorer quality and the belt will not last as long. I've already contacted Massdrop about a refund.
Edit: Apparently genuine leather is classified differently depending on where it's made! Noted for the future. :)

wangbotHi there. I suspect that 'genuine' leather has a different meaning in UK. Here's what company representative says below in comment: 'The Langham belt is indeed one piece of Italian full grain leather' https://www.massdrop.com/buy/british-belt-co-dressier-belt/talk/1847487

wangbotI have received top-grain leather products from companies which only sell those products which still say genuine leather on the underside. "Genuine Leather" is necessary as a classification in some areas or for selling purposes if I remember correctly. It's a very common point of alarm for people who don't know otherwise, since genuine leather is ALSO a name for a quality of leather in some cases. It's all a huge pain in the ass. This is why knowing brands is important.

wangbotGenuine leather just means that its contains leather. By FTC rules to use the term Genuine leather it must contain at least 80% leather that can be bonded or split. Look for the term full grain for a solid leather belts.
