This is one of the heaviest clothing belts I have ever seen. I don't know if the weight is more due to the thick cowhide leather the belt is made of, or if the nickel-plated buckle attached to it is too big. All I can say is I'm really sick of wearing this thing. Style isn't something to talk about. It's reversible, so that's good, and the brown is actually quite nice. The locking mechanism seems pretty flimsy so I'm not sure how long it will last. And right out of the box, it has a pretty pungent odor. Better air it out before putting it in a dresser drawer. Could definitely be better if you are looking for a reversible belt. 2 stars
