A braided style belt allows a wider range of sizes to wear this timeless treasure. The metallic gold may appear a bit silver from the pictures, but it is definitely gold along with its metal buckle. The Ralph Lauren brand has been around for ages and so has this belt. It was properly stored in a dark closet waiting for the 80's style to return. This belt is in tip-top condition measuring at 46" long and around 1 inch wide.
