Good belt to go with the dress. Very fat. Well done. Excellent seam. The buckle is strong, heavy metal, black with a matte finish. The seller says you should buy 2 inches above your pant size. My son wears a size 30 belt so we got a size 32 belt. It was packaged very well for shipping (and storage). to!). It was packed in a canvas pouch in a soft zip pouch. The belt was completely wrapped in plastic to avoid being scratched during transport.
