I bought this belt to pair with a pair of Florsheim shoes in the same color and it works well. However, buyers should be aware that this strap appears quite small. I usually wear 32" pants and take 34" belts and usually find myself right in the middle hole (let's say 5 holes). With this 34 inch belt I'm on the first hole. It's okay because I'm going to wear it with a suit like I usually do, and the less ponytail the better. But I still recommend buying at least 2 sizes larger than your pant size. My other minor gripes as packaged: The strap was tightly rolled and plastic, but the bucket was on the outside and the tip was in the middle, meaning a very tight tip bend radius that crumples the leather a bit and has a pronounced kink that keeps the strap from falling really open, but I'd still prefer the belt to "buckle inside" rolled.
