I bought the size that I usually buy with belts, but I still had to cut a few inches off. I was not thrilled about that (I expect a correct size belt to fit without having to modify it.) Also the holes are closer to the tail end than I prefer. That causes a belt to give you less of a tail to work with for your pants belt loop, and gives you very little room to grow (better watch those calories!). . But it was easy to cut. The colors are as pictured. It's advertised as full grain leather, but it still feels cheap. The full grain leather is just the thin covering. It won't be long before it tears, I anticipate. But you get what you pay for.
