mlapaglia Report post Posted December 22, 2011 It really depends on the supplier. There is no official "Belt Grade" so it can mean anything they want it to mean. Ask the supplier how it would be graded if it wasnt for belts. Ask him for the actual grade of the leather. It could mean very good or it could mean its not good for anything else.

Thanks folks Belt grade leather is a very good grade of leather if the supplier is honest in his assessment of the leather. Usually there would not be any brands, hanger marks or any noticeable imperfections. Edited December 22, 2011 by busted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
