This belt looks great! And I love the double sided aspect - I can use one belt for 2 color schemes. Takes up less closet space and saves money. So far it looks good and looks like it will last a long time. I also love that you can shorten the length by cutting off the end of the buckle. Ideal as a gift as it comes in a beautiful metal box. I had to straighten out the punctured end (several hours under a heavy box did the trick) to keep the side I flipped from deviating from my body. ! But it didn't matter much.
