I'm opting for this belt - finest Italian material, high class finishing (handmade), and reasonably-priced.

Boggi Milano Belt - Made in Italy

For RM400+ I'd rather get something from Equus Leather that uses English bridle leather tanned by JE Sedgwick.

Nice and well made belt. Seems like both brands (JE Sedgwick and Boggi Milano) use high quality Italian leather, handmade and hand stitched.

Definitely NOT Italian but English.

The business of J & E Sedgwick & Co. Ltd was founded in 1900 by James and Emmanuel Sedgwick. Sedgwick’s began supplying leather to the equestrian trade in 1900, and a century on is one of the leading leather suppliers of equestrian leather in Walsall.

Noted bro. What i mean was the leather from J&E is highly probably came from Italy - since the said country is the best in class in terms of the leather material.

Sedgewick is a renowned leather tannery, and they have been making their leather in Halsall, England for more than a hundred years.

Best in class tanneries are from Italy? Depends on what class you are talking about.

To me the best bridle leather is made by Bakers in England.
Best crocodile leather made by Heng Long in Singapore(owned by LVMH).
Best calfskin made by Annonay in France(owned by Hermes).
Best shell cordovan made by Shinki-Hikaku in Japan.

I had to google to find a good Italian tannery. Caravel Pelli Pregiate (owned by Gucci). Never heard of them before today...
