Once the upper part of the belt is finished, crocodile or other reptile skin, it is necessary to pass on to the next step in the realization of the belt. The strip that forms the upper part of the belt is stuck to other 4 layers: the first three that form the body of the belt act as a reinforcement, and at the same time maintains its form. The fourth layer is the lining, that after being levelled and smoothed on the sides, in order to create a difference of level for aesthetic purposes and to protect the stitching giving an extra reinforcement, makes the inner part of the belt.
Each lining is made from bovine skin with final touches in nabouk, even in this case, the skin chosen is always guaranteed and of good quality. The bovine skin with final touches in nabouk that we use, is a first grade skin, that in professional jargon is called "full bloom".
It is precisely this
type of skin that can guarantee a soft and velvety lining, of a natural
colour, apart from assuring a pleasant touch, and has no problem in the
long run of fading. Finally careful stitching assures that all the layers
that make the belt are held firmly.

Naturally not all skins can be classified as such, only previously selected skins
can corrispond to these standards. They must be without pigmentations or
any other colouring to camouflage any defects, therefore free from
imperfections and beautifully worked.
