I have always loved the feel and texture of Ostrich skin and this mock version is astoundingly good - the tonal effect achieved with the 'Quills' (the quills always a darker tone than the base leather) makes this belt a particularly easy one to wear. The brown ostrich look is always a classic and its inherent design is subtle enough for it to work well with all sorts of outfits from formal to casual. The gold classic prong buckle is a great compliment to this leather. Classic, clean lined and stylish - what more to say about a buckle that is all about simplicity yet retains an element of uniqueness with its gently cambered edges and rounded front edge. This buckle has a nice weight about it and can be used as a result for both smarter or more casual occasions.
