My two considerations:
What makes a great belt? ...What details / features matter?
i think everyone above me just about covered everything...i mean, there isn't much to a belt when you think about it...
A belt that matches the color of the shoes you are wearing and preferably exactkly the same leather...
I mentioned earlier that finishing is very important. I had a Ferragamo belt fell apart on me right in the middle, the front of the leather and the backing became unglued. It was quite distressing to me that Ferragamo let out such shoddy product, which was not cheap.
For a beginner this is a very good idea. When done too studiously it's trying too hard. No sprezzatura.
+2. I had the exact same thing happen to me on two separate Ferragamo belts. (Why I bought a second one is a different question with an answer that reflects poorly on my judgment.) Both were essentially ruined within 6 months, and a return for repair bought only an extra 3 months of life. Avoid glue and Ferragamo. Seek high quality stitching.
