Leather and steel are anti-microbial. If something does get on it, it won't survive for very long.

Tell that to the mold covered belt I just found in my closet.

Do you live in a retention pond? How on earth does a belt get and stay damp enough to grow mold? How long has it been sitting undisturbed? I didn't know about leather being antimicrobial until just now. Even then, a moldy leather belt just seems wrong lol

All my leather jackets, belts, shoes get mouldy if left unused for some time. All you need to do is live in a humid country.. that'll do the trick!
