I have both Kataaro Belts and Eosin Panther belts.....both are good quality but Panther is better. They are stiffer, and brighter in color than Kataaro. My Kataaro red belt is noticibley more dull and almost orange in color. Panther is brighter and more pure red. Panther embroidery is better spaced and sized. Panther is all around better. Just be prepared for the $100 price tag...but it will last forever.....
