I was in dire need of a black waist belt and this is very reasonably priced. Two small notes: the buckle is very shiny, almost on purpose. I wore the belt under my jacket so it didn't bother me, but some people might find it a problem. It seems that after flipping the belt, you need to remove it from the buckle by unscrewing the two mounting screws and then rearranging it. Not a problem, but it's not something you can do at the last minute, especially if you don't have an optical flathead screwdriver handy.
