The mint green color looked great and the fabric sewed well with the belt fabric. Unfortunately the belt is too small. As I usually do, I increased my pants but still found he could grab the first, maybe tightened, second hole. I am sending it back two sizes larger. As for the rest. Although the width is clearly indicated on the details, it looks smaller in person. It's a thin, dress-width belt, and while it slides easily through belt loops, it looks a bit small for chinos or madras shorts. The buckle is very small to match the thin width. I'm worried the buckle is smaller than most of my wife's belt buckles? Not really, but it might bother you. It's like a "mini" buckle. Regardless, I like the look enough to trade it in for a size up and will wear it with some preppy summer outfits.
