I recently purchased a brown men's basket from Nocona Belt Co. Not a size 44 billet and I have to say it does wonders for my everyday wardrobe! The intricate basket weave and rich brown adds a touch of sophistication and spice to my outfit. Leather is strong and durable, making it ideal for everyday wear. The only drawback is the lack of cuts, which cannot be remedied by simply plugging them in. All in all, highly recommended for anyone looking for a stylish and functional belt.
