belt no.2 （29）

Belts are made of a variety of materials, which can be mainly divided into three categories: cloth, artificial leather and genuine leather. Cloth belts are usually made of canvas, which are affordable but not durable enough; artificial leather (such as PU) belts are moderately priced but have limited durability; genuine leather belts are mainly made of animal leather such as pigskin, cowhide, crocodile leather, etc., among which cowhide is the most common, and is divided into first-layer cowhide and second-layer cowhide. The durability and texture of different leathers vary. The materials of belts can be roughly divided into the following categories: Cloth:: Canvas:: Affordable price, diverse styles, but relatively not durable, suitable for daily leisure occasions. Artificial leather:: PU leather:: Moderate price, leather texture, but not as durable as genuine leather. Genuine leather:: Cowhide:: The most common genuine leather material, which can be further divided into first-layer cowhide and second-layer cowhide. First-layer cowhide:: Good toughness, good texture, high durability, is a high-quality material for making belts, some articles introduce that various styles of belts can be made. Second layer cowhide: Compared with the first layer cowhide, its durability and texture are slightly inferior, but it has a higher cost performance. Pigskin: Its advantages are thinness, fineness, good breathability, and high cost performance, but it is not thick enough and not strong enough. Other animal leathers: Such as crocodile leather, etc., are usually used to make high-end belts, with unique texture and high collection value.
