The nickel-plated buckle beautifully complements the Italian leather for a distinctively solid look. Can be used with either the buckle or rounded side forward. 2" wide strap is extra thick (5/32") and the bottom edges are rounded for extra comfort and embossed with the DiMarzio logo. The Italian tanning process gives DiMarzio leather its exceptionally rich color and texture. Additionally, the skins are tumbled for a supple, broken-in feel - like that old leather jacket you can"t seem to throw away.
