I travel often, both for business and pleasure, and I have learned that anything that lightens your load is a good thing.  When I went on a recent vacation I packed this belt instead of packing both a black and a brown one.

Yes, the brown side is shinier than the black side but I like them both.  This is not so much a business belt but it is good for casual use.  The swivel on the buckle is tight and well made.  I have owned this item for a while and am very pleased with it.
