I remember the older version of the belt (stitched buckle fold and pewter clipped-corner buckle) was $130. This new pricing is hella crazy... I mean, generic Chicago screws, generic roller buckle, and we aren't even told the exact tannage of the medium weight 10 oz leather. If the edges are really just rough cut, then this pricing is a massive rip. With that price you could have the Kawatako sword-tip belt shipped from Japan.
