This signature Skechers belt is well made and has a beautiful silver buckle. One side is blue canvas which looks great as I like to wear it with jeans. The other side is black PVC that looks like stitched leather. They are both good options. The reverse is very simple: pull the buckle and strap simultaneously and they separate on a spring-loaded pin. Rotate the strap in the desired direction. I have a 36" waist and took a chance that 36" was the right size to order. Sometimes you need to add 4 inches to make the end of the strap long enough to go through the buckle and loop. This strap only fits about 2 inches for the loop. If in doubt, you can order one size larger.
