I was looking for a good decent belt and came across this one as it is black and dark brown on both sides. It was the perfect length for my needs. It has many holes and adjusts to your size. I use the third last hole. He looks well built. Looks better and feels better. The finish is nice too. In stores, a similar belt is sold more expensively. It was well packed in a box. Is that so; ID and strong. I think it will last for many years. I can use it on the brown or black side. The buckle looks good, but I expected it to be a little hard. I hope it doesn't break in the next few years. In general I am satisfied with the belt, its length and quality. Just make the buckle a little stronger and it will be the best.
