some belts cannot one. I have a leather brown belt that says 100% genuine leather. But the mink oil does't seep.

Think for cheap leather stuff, they have a layer of something that they apply colouring onto.

Right?

Btw, qns abt belt.

I just bought this belt from H&M recently and only wore 2-3times, but already noticed the bending. I see this common problem in my other belts too.
Normal???

Bending is normal for leather belts. In fact it is a good sign. It means that your belt is being molded to the shape of your waist to fit you better.

Really well thought out belts are made to be curved to start with so that the belt lies flat on your waist since our waists are not flat.

Synthetic leather belts don't form that curve.

Swee leh! the wallet forming shape :)

ya, i guess cant avoid eyes of the guru. :)
But the cam isnt gd enough to capture it. The shape of the cards and coins are making bulges le.

Btw, i noticed the bottom part is squeezed to become thinner as the top part. Normal?
Will try to upload pics of this comparison tmr night again

This black leather evo quite difficult to capture on camera, must see real thing to appreciate more.
Scasi used one of this leather before, sibey swee in real life but on pics cannot see properly, due to black in colour.
