It's my first time to purchase a Dickies belt. I always had the notion that more expensive a belt, the better - I was WRONG! This belt was under USD 15.00 but the quality is really good. Its actually much better than more expensive belts I have purchased before. After I got it, I used it everyday for 2 weeks and after the 2 weeks, it still looked and felt brand new. I still use it regularly and it's holding up very very well - what a belt! I highly recommend it.

I read a lot of reviews and did exactly what others recommended, I got a size (36) higher than my usual (34) belt and it fits perfectly (I use the middle hole, the 3rd out of 5 holes) The leather part of the belt is actually 40.5 inches and with the buckle the total length of the belt is 42 and 1/4 inches.

The belt is exactly the same color as pictured in Amazon, dark brown. Just look at the picture and you get a very accurate color. It looks great with jeans and khakis but I would not recommend it with formal pants. It's just a little stiffer than some belts but it works for me.

I will be purchasing the black one next time.
