I like the Mission belts. I have a polymer buckle which comes in handy at airports and also if you have a nickel sensitivity like Tracy and I have with most metal buckles. Anyway, I ordered a brown belt to wear to the wedding. Looks good and wears well. The shade of brown is not my favorite, I would like a different one. Not necessarily darker or lighter, just different. This one is a bit too milk chocolate colored but it goes pretty well with my shoes. Made in China.
