Nice looking belt. Well made, heavy but not too heavy. The clasp is made of dark satin nickel. Overall this is a great everyday belt but looks good enough to use on a dress as well. The color is very dark brown, almost black, coffee? The smooth inner and outer lining makes the pants fit better around the waist. The width of 1.25 inches is suitable for both dresses and everyday wear. Weaving allows you to adjust the size wider than just punched holes. The size is also right. Very pretty.
