Greetings everyone:

Does anyone have a opinion which of these would make a better gift? Both sells for the exact same price:

This one is sold at Neiman-Marcus as well as Salvatore Ferragamo boutique stores, basically 1 belt and 2 buckles:

This one is sold by Sak's Fifth Avenue online but I haven't seen it anywhere else, basically 2 belts and 1 buckle:

Does anyone here happen to know which shipping carrier Sak's uses to ship orders?

Are these belts supposed to be a better grade of leather than the $250 reversible swivel buckle belts from Ferragamo?

If I had to choose between the two, I'd go for the first one. I do not like a belt buckle that screams a brand logo- like how Hermes also does.

Thanks, I just wonder which one is actually the better quality belt since both cost the same and it seems that with one, you lose a belt for the buckle and the other is reversed. Ofcourse, the first one also gives you both the traditional buckle and the pin on top fastening mechanisms. I guess if one wants a screaming brand logo, might as well go for a LV belt.

It really doesn't matter because in all likelihood it'll be returned.
