I love this belt! The colors are rich, the texture nice and smooth! I like that the buckle has a darker metal color. It looks so nice on black slacks. It is very simple to switch it from one side to the other to utilize both colors. This belt feels very will made and well worth the price. I would definitely buy it again! It comes in a nice box, inside a velvet bag and wrapped in plastic. The package makes it perfect for easy gift giving. I think I'll order more for Christmas gifts.
