I just wanted to add something about the leather. I have a BB Classic, a Fancy Edition (Knight & Candy Apple Red) & a Natural (no dyes/no nylon thread). The Natural is by far the softest of the BBs I own. I had no idea it would be so soft! I was expecting something more sturdy feeling, like a belt I suppose...since it's "natural". But the Natural is butter soft. It's still sturdy, it just has a more delicate feel than the other ones I have. It also feels more prone to stretch. I'm a big fan of the Natural. I use it as much as I can so the patina will develop. That being said...the Natural probably isn't a great first (or only Buddy Belt). It isn't as "pretty" as some of the other models. And the Classic & Fancy line do have a sturdier feel to them. Although I like it, it isn't a great representation of the overall Buddy Belt brand. Whatever you decide, I'm sure you'll love it. Definitely a cut above anything else out there.
