This is a very beautiful belt and buckle. My only minor complaint is that the blue is a bit over the top than I thought. In the photos it looked thinner than it really is, looks like it has been repainted or even painted blue. It goes with some outfits though, not so much like it's not that dramatic, but it works. The waistband is thick, stiff enough to provide support but not so stiff as to be uncomfortable. The buckle is very attractive, perhaps the best feature of the belt.
