I am going to cross-post from the B&S forum.

http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=37113

How does this raw leather belt differ in quality for the Tanner belts on SuFu, the similar belt previously offered on the SF for $40, the cheapies for $15 at local leather store, or the Red Moon belts at substantially more? I ask because I'm interested in raw leather belt, but aren't sure how each differs. Can someone educate me?

There is nothing particularly special about the strap I'm offering, and from the pics of the Tanner belts it looks like a comparable product. I can't really speak to the Red Moon belts as I have never seen them in person, but they do look like a nicer product from pics. That being said, with untanned belt straps I'm guessing that you aren't going to see huge differences in the leather - most of what makes good bridle leather is in the tanning process, and natural straps are relatively untreated.
