📚 Perry Ellis Reversible Stitched Portfolio Review

I liked the brown color and look of this belt. I first found it in a department store but they weren't my size so I went to Revain. I'm skinny so I often have a hard time finding pant and belt sizes so Revane saved the day. I haven't used the double sided black side of the belt and don't plan to, but I've added a plus just in case.

The belt appearance was fine. However, the build quality is very poor. The rotating mechanism has separated several times and despite my best efforts, it doesn't hold up. This happened with normal use and I've had this belt for a little over 1 month.

First, it's glued leather, which for those unfamiliar with it is an inferior mix of glue and leather scraps that is less durable than real leather and doesn't have the aesthetic qualities and patina of real leather. "100% leather" is just a lie. The color doesn't match the promotional photos either; if you look at the product image you might think you're tanning and going from inky edges to tan, but in person it's just a flat one , ugly brown. I also had a 36" belt but it looked more like a 38"
