I saw that it changed hands, and that did kind of worry me. Hopefully the next one is better. If not, I'll have to try someone else.

Thanks everyone. I sent pictures to the manufacturer, and they are going to replace the belt. I didn't want to request that if it was normal. The owner was very responsive, and didn't give me hassle, but it would be nice if this would have been inspected, prior to shipping. The level of detail that went into the rest of this belt, and trying to fix a different belt with some rough edges has definitely gotten me interested in leather craft. It's good to know there are knowledgeable, helpful people on this forum. Thanks again, everyone.

I meant common, as there were pictures of belts where this wasn't the case. If it is common, I'd probably rather have a refund. If it is inevitable, I'd have to decide whether to stick with a single layer belt, or deal with the wrinkles. I know that nothing handmade will be flawless, but I wasn't expecting this after what I had paid for the belt. Thanks for the help.

That is the outside. If it was the inside, I probably wouldn't care. This belt was close to $130, because it was a large horsehide belt. Thanks for the info.

I bought a belt with a horse hide exterior and bull hide interior layer. The look and feel of the belt is a total work of art, except for the end. The end looks very wrinkled. None of the belts on the website (Beltman Belts) look like this. I was hoping to get an expert opinion on whether this was normal, for dual layer belts, or an anomaly. Thanks for the help.
