I really like this belt. With other straps, I can't adjust the length exactly the way I like it. This one does. The locking mechanism is beautiful and smart. This is a work of art in itself. The surface of the golf ball buckle is very attractive. Something about it I like more than a simple buckle or a more elaborate buckle - it has a subtle, classy feel. I have already ordered a cordovan belt and a black leather belt. I was trying to pare down my wardrobe to a few flashy classic pieces and the Anson belt was the go-to choice for this look.
