We have been working with this matt finish mock alligator effect skin for a few years now and it has become a stand out versatile look adopted by many customers. The emboss is a little more sporty and casual than our traditional mock croc belts whilst the matt finish keeps the look low key. In colours other than black the belt also benefits from some additional tonality, with the ridges a slightly darker tone than the base leather, making the belt even more versatile for matching up with shoes and clothing. This belt will work for formal attire but will be equally at home on the weekend. Just choose a buckle design suitable for the occasion - go slimmer for a more elegant, formal look and try something with a little more detail and weight for a more casual feel.
