I've been trying to find a good reversible belt. This one is good - it has a nice sheen, but it doesn't draw attention. The buckle works well but stays in place fairly well. Whenever I need to quickly switch from my casual brown, leather-belted businessman to handsome black-belted vigilante, it facilitates a subtle change without jeopardizing my identity. Once I fix the belt I can fight evil and no one will recognize me as Richard from Accounts because the black belt looks like another belt and I wear a brown belt. It literally completes the outfit because it's the only part I change. Good price, fits well, was pleasantly surprised by the good performance of the mechanism.
