The belt and buckle are exactly as described - my only issue is that the buckle is so thick that it sticks out and also there is a notch on the underside of the buckle that catches the button and fly/seam above the zipper and so it doesn't sit flush with my pants. I wore it golfing and it did the job - but I'm going to continue to look for another buckle. The straps are top notch and I like them. Just not all that happy with the size of the buckle.
