• Grading: Nice but not perfect, can be from Grades 1 2 3 (Grades are done by how many quadrants of the belly, non flank area, that have defects. If 0-1 of the quadrants have a defect then it is grade 1. If 2 quadrants have defects it is a grade 2. If 3 quadrants have defects it is a grade 3) 

• Yield: High 85%+, With a natural product like leather, there can be areas with neck and back wrinkles, veins, scars, bites, loose grain, but in general this article can expect an overall high cutting area. Grading is done by inspecting how many of the quadrants have defects. 0-1 quadrants with defects = Grade 1, 2 quadrants with defect = Grade… and so on. The tail and head may have defects but this does not get factored into the grading as the main area of concern is the belly. These belts cross from head to tail, with the head, tail and other areas that aren t graded they can have some defects. That being said in general they are quite nice, but the uniqueness of a single piece belt one must embrace the characteristics, scars and more that show it is real leather.
