My previous belt broke a few months ago. I've been looking ever since then for a well made, leather belt that is reversable. And this is it! FINALLY!! I absolutely love this belt, it's like the one I had before. To switch from brown to black, you simply tug the belt buckle just a bit away from the belt and twist, and it snaps back in. You're essentially turning the belt buckle over to the color you choose to wear that day.
