The reversible belt is a great idea for switching between black and brown leather. The problem is that the reverse buckle broke after two years. Since it has a lifetime warranty, I got a new belt by paying the factory over $5 to ship it. The new one lasted 8 months. To get a new belt I would have to ship it for another $5. The buckle is simply not suitable for daily outdoor use at work and leisure. Perhaps it would be better if it was only worn to church or social gatherings. Now I have a stuck belt that I need to fix with J&B welding. Let's see if the buckle on the brown or black side doesn't turn but is tight. waste of money? For me yes.
