The leash is made in China. The quality is not the best, but adequate. The 1" is a little ackward, so I wished I had purchased a 1/2" model. I have another 6 inch lease (brand?) and the quality is much better and the leather is softer and more flexible. This lease reminds me of a cheap leather belt that I might have purchased in my youth that never seemed to keep their looks and wore out fast. The handling loop is large - I am not sure if I like it this large (better for gloves in the winter) or dislike it because without gloves it is not as comfortable as the other leash.
Cons
- Cheaply made
- Foreign made
- Hand Loop is stiff
