Minotaur D9 Brown Russian

This strap looks a lot better in picture than live. In the picture it looks like leather but it most probably isn't. Instead the leather look-a-like surface is some hard and inflexible synthetic material that seems it will start to crackle with very little use and look bad. Just when opening the package it looked like the surface had little crackles. Also because the material isn't flexible, the strap isn't very comfortable to handle and doesn't follow the shape of the shoulder very well. I returned the product because a similarly priced strap from another brand, although not as decorative, was genuine leather, softer and performed it's simple task better. Shame, because I really liked the ornation in this Minotaur strap.
