I ordered this belt for my husband.  Leather belts at reasonable prices and in the correct size are not easy to come by at the local stores.  This belt is reversible.  To change from black to brown you simply lift up on the buckle and twist.  The mechanism is super easy to work.  The double row of stitching makes this belt look dressy, but not so much so that it won't pair nicely with blue jeans.  The leather is supple so there is not 'breaking in' period like on some men's belts.  This buckle has a brushed silver appearance and seems to be quite sturdy.  As to size, this belt runs true to size.  For anyone confused about how to measure a belt, length is measured from the flat edge of the leather to the center hole and holes are one inch apart. (Most belts have five holes like this one does).  Ideally belt holes are spaced so that if you order a size 36, for example, you will have holes at 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38 inches.
