I've bought quite a few Anson belts. The locking system is smooth and light but holds up well. You look amazing and there are so many options. I've had to get rid of most of my belts because the area that flexes back and forth when ripped/unfastened breaks down. These belts don't have that problem. A question for Anson: will there ever be a cognac belt since there are so many cognac shoes out there? I've tried mixing and matching chocolate and lighter tan but not entirely sure they work.
