It is almost impossible to find a belt that is actually made of 100 percent genuine leather. Most are vinyl, but some may have a thin leather covering over a fabric. The leather covering will either be stitched or glued to the fabric. I buy belts on sale at Bealls for about $15 and throw them away in about 3-6 months. If the belt you purchased was labelled as "leather" then the vendor was just following the standard advertising practice for belts. So, other than overcharging you, the vendor did nothing wrong. Next time, go to Bealls when they have a sale, which is almost always.
