I actually can’t remember when I bought my first Badichi belt in SoHo, New York. It was years ago. Of course I still have it and use it, it has aged beautifully. My first belt was a black, thick width, then I bought a blue one - same size. 2 years ago I got a blue double agent and lastly I purchased the black one. These belts last a life time and I couldn’t be happier with my purchases.
