As this is Ariat's belt I was very disappointed. I love Ariat boots and I can buy that for the belt first. I was specifically looking for a black cherry belt to match my black cherry boots. What came out is really more like a two-tone belt that has a cherry-colored outer edge and ends with a black insert, rather than a solid black cherry color. I guess I have to fork out $150 for Lucchese to get an actual black cherry.
