If you wear this one, don't expect anyone to compliment you on your choice of belt because that's no nonsense, a plain black leather belt. That doesn't mean it's a bad belt, it's actually a very good belt. All it is is a strip of leather with no fancy patterns or stitching, but it's quite thick meaning it's very strong and durable. The silver-tone chrome buckle is also understated, designed more for practicality than looks. Size? I take size 36 and the plus size belt is the perfect size for me. If I manage to avoid excessive belly augmentation, I expect to use it for many years to come.
