My husband wears leather braided/braided belts most of the time. He likes the ability to place the buckle pin in a convenient location. He also likes that they are usually more flexible than his other leather belts. Combine that with the dark brown color and dark gray buckle on this belt and you're a winner. This belt goes with many of his pants, from khakis to jeans to slacks. He wears pants with a 32-34 inch waist, and those 32-38 inches are just right. If your waist is more than 34 inch, you can choose one size bigger. This is a very reasonable price for this high quality belt.
