A double-faced belt with head-turning style. Aniline-dyed genuine bridle-leather strap has a deep, rich color and subtle sheen. Rotating metal buckle has a satin finish and engraved logo. Buckle rotates to reverse the belt from black to brown so it can be worn in a variety of settings.
The reason I bought this belt, and the main good thing about it, is that the buckle is titanium (a non-magnetic metal), and therefore I don’t have to take it off to get through airport security. Since I travel frequently for work, that’s a nice benefit. The belt looks very nice for both dress and casual wear, though the brown side is a very bright brown (I would prefer something a bit more muted). That’s the only reason it didn’t get 5 stars.
Very good looking belt that I believe will be very durable. It can serve in the place of two belts because the reverse side is brown. If I ever need another belt I will definitely buy another one of these.
When I first received the belt, it looked to be exactly what I was looking for. Great colors (brown wasn’t too dark and matched my shoes and watches perfectly), and switching between the colors on the buckle was extremely easy. However, a month or so of wearing the belt 5 days a week, the glue that holds the two pieces of leather together (each color of leather is a seperate piece, with the pieces being glued together back-to-back) started to come apart. After 2 months of wear, the belt essentially fell apart.
Also, the metal that the buckle is made of is low quality. It is a cheap metal that is dipped to create the shiny finish you see initially. The “dipped” shine began to flake off shortly after use and was basically gone in 2 months.
Overall, this belt looks great initially, but is of a rather low quality.
I bought this black/brown leather belt for my husband to replace another belt. He really likes the belt! It’s a good looking, classic belt that easily reverses (black on one side and brown on the other). I looks to be a qood quality belt. He’s already worn it several times. The only thing I would improve is to be able to buy a smaller size (size 30) because he has lost some weight recently, but other than that, it is perfect!
So far, this belt has held up well. It’s a bit heavy if you don’t like full metal buckles/loops, but it’s a pretty nice reversible belt.
