This break-in period often makes the belt more comfortable to wear immediately. Leather Suppleness: The waviness suggests the leather remains flexible and supple rather than being dried out or brittle. Surface Texture: The top side remains well-defined despite the natural curvature of the strap. Structural Integrity: While the strap shows a natural curve, the stitching along the edges remains intact, and there are no signs of heavy cracking or splitting in the leather grain.
