is the leather soft and supple out of the box? are the fastenings brass or some other metal that will rust?

Deborah,Yes, the leather is soft out of the box. I have ordered several of this brand for my foals and I am VERY pleased. You absolutely cannot do better for the price. The fittings are brass, and are good quality (i.e. the snap is not difficult to snap or unsnap).

The leather is soft and really nice. I have this halter for about a year and a half and all the metal parts are ok, and I live in Dominican Republic, so the climat is really humid, but this item is good quality, I like it really much and you have to know that I bought a big size and it's really big, so I had to make more holes, but now it fits perfectly ;)

I am not sure. It doesn't look cheap like most imitation leather items do. I thought it said it was leather when I purchased it. It looks nice, I think you'd be pleased with it.

It'll last. I fold it back over and over and have literally abused it. For the price, you can't go wrong. There's no metal. It's more of a leather-like material.

It is a box and has a double clasp. It is not steel. Should do fine for what you can carry easily. And will be moisture/water resistant. Can always put some charcoal inside to sop up the humidity depending on where you are. I have quite a few and spread out the weight. Have not run my truck over it yet. Will let you know if I back up over it by accident.

It is pretty durable. Quality of leather is good and it will last as long as anything I have seen. Unless you area carrying gold bullion then your not going to get much passed10-15lbs. I carry a laptop, a thick wedge of paper most of the time and no real wear seen after 6 months

YES!!! Extremely, but I does rust if left outside. Other than that slight cosmetic issue it is GREAT!!!

The leather is just a normal type, nothing special about it. However, be careful of the legs as they break off fairly easy.

I believe that it's made out of brass with a chrome finish. It shouldn't rust.

It is soft leather but not the greatest quality. For the price this is nice but if you are looking for nice leather I would look elswhere.

Dont expect it to be fancy.. it rusted after one use one week later... I wore it over a 8 mm suit.. so cannot attest to the skin.. but for the price...

I liked it because it was soft leather. It has held up well though, like the pic, the handle did begin to unravel. I'd buy it again. Price is good. you get what you pay for.

I don't think it's leather, but seems tough and durable. Well made. I'm happy with it so far!

So far, no. I dont see rust being an issue down the line but ive only had it a month or so.

yes, soft and pliable so no problem. I carry a S&W 40 chrome finish and have had no problems whatsoever.

pu leather is one of the better man made leathers. when i bought mine they came in black, brown and white they are brown not burgundy at all. still happy with mine. the colors are listed separately. there is a decorative ring that goes on before you mount the shock,make sure you put it on first. very easy to assemble. shipped very fast like three days.

Aloha Gabe, I bought my Laredo in October of 2011. It is a SK-5 model. It did get 5 or 6 specs of rust on the surface, when I kept it too long in the leather sheath, but they came off with a little rubbing with a Scotch Brite. So now the Laredo gets out of the sheath, a couple times a week when I practice some basic Bowie techniques. Take care of yourself. Aloha, Rudy
