This is like expecting fine silk to wear like thick wool. Alligator is a fragile skin, not durable but is desirable as an exotic material. <br /><br />Don't send FS off with an alligator belt, to be worn frequently (I am gathering, since it is his only belt), and then be surprised it fell apart! Gift idea for FS: a good sturdy cowhide belt.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.com
