1. Hardware: It is an important criterion for judgment. Generally, good hardware has a bright and thick luster, no burrs, less volatile acidic substances, and the hardware will not change color quickly.

2. Glue head: refers to the glued part of the leather incision of the leather belt. This part is generally thicker and needs to be bonded with glue during the production process. Genuine products use imported glue, which looks relatively transparent, usually in a transparent red color.

3. Feel the feel of the material of the belt. Generally, the material with better feel is better; also check the appearance and pay attention to the handwork and stitching.

4. Smell the smell of the belt. Low-quality leather will have a pungent and unpleasant smell. In addition, a large amount of glue is used in the production process of the belt. The genuine product will not have a pungent smell and smells faintly.

1. Single-layer belt

It is made of one layer of leather. Take off the buckle and observe the cross-section of the belt. You can see that this type of belt is usually sold as long as the price is not too low. All are genuine leather products. In addition, it can also be identified through testing methods. After a genuine leather belt is bent hard, the crease will not be obvious and can be restored in a short time. However, imitation leather does not have this effect, and inferior ones may even be damaged.

2. Two-layer or multi-layer belts

This type of belt is made of two or three layers of leather stitched together. It can be seen by removing the buckle and observing the cross-section of the belt. This type of belt is most likely to be faked by manufacturers. The usual method is to use a layer of 3-layer leather and a layer of PU leather, and some even have sponge-like filling in the middle. The test method is similar to that of a single-layer belt. You can also use your fingernails to try to peel off the color layer on the surface of the belt at the cross-section. If it can be peeled off, it proves that it is imitation leather.

The material color and pattern of the belt, belts of various textures show various styles due to different processing and tanning processes. Pigskin and sheepskin are softer after being peeled and layered; cowhide has a stiff feel; crocodile skin is a higher-grade choice. The embossed and textured effects on the belt make it more attractive and distinctive. Normally, formal men's belts should be black and must be edge-sealed. A brown belt rarely matches a decent formal suit.
