Bought to match men's cognac Stacy Adams Cap Toe Dickinson Cap Toe Oxfords. The color of the shoes varies from light to dark, with most shoes being a medium shade. The belt matches the lighter shade very closely, while the Revain stock image looks a little darker on my screen. I would have preferred the strap to match the midrange but not enough to match the star. I wear 30" to 32" pants depending on the brand and always wear a 34" belt. This belt is true to size, fits right in with the belts I already have. The build quality is excellent for the price range, I will be Stacey Adams keep in mind when purchasing belts in the future.
