This belt is very stylish and very cost efficient. When i wore it the first time I got many compliments. Other reveiwers have said that its hard to reverse to the brown side and that the lettering may be seen. I haven't tried to reverse it so i cant attest to that. But if you want a nice black belt this is it...if you want a nice brown belt- buy a nice brown belt!! Dont make your purchase based on the "reversible" idea.
