This belt looks good with a strong reversible buckle. Each side (brown and black) has a slightly textured surface. The buckle has a nice nickel finish and the reversing mechanism works well. I had to shorten the strap by about an inch, which was very easy to do. There is a small guide in the packaging that explains how to undo the buckle to release the strap. Cut to desired length, snap back into buckle and fasten. It takes about five minutes from start to finish. The belt is packed in a bag in a beautiful box. The kit comes with a small tool to drill additional holes if needed. I think this is a quality belt at a great price.
