What customers say:
The product is generally well-made with thick, sturdy leather and an attractive buckle design. Many customers found the belt comfortable and said it broke in nicely. However, there were some issues with sizing, as some customers reported the belt ran large while others needed to order a size down. A few reviewers also complained about the quality, noting the leather was thin, stretchy, or had a coating that wore off. Overall, the product seems to be a decent, reasonably priced casual belt, but customers should be aware of potential sizing and quality variability.

Worthless belt
Size Purchased: 40 in
Weight: 270-280 lbs
This is not a very good belt. So far, it's stretched 2 holes after less than a month of use. What's more, I wore this belt with a pair of khaki pants and the tan stained and ruined

Second Purchase Of This Belt
Weight: 140-150 lbs
This is the second purchase of this belt. The first one lasted years. It makes a great jean belt. This new one seems to be of the same quality and fit as the previous belt.

Too long
Size Purchased: 34 in
Weight: 150-160 lbs
Ordered a 34-in belt and it's so long it could easily be a 36 or longer. I think they literally took the 36-in belt and stamped the number 34 on it... Not happy with the purchase.
