Since one side is all brown and the other all black, I automatically thought this belt had a double sided plate/buckle. I mean why else make a belt in these two different colors? I made a mistake and wasted my money. Don't get me wrong this is a quality belt but I bought it specifically thinking it was reversible (the only type of belt I buy on a business trip). Pooh. Also note that the length of the strap is the absolute limit/maximum it can accommodate. Remember.
