This is absolutely THE BEST BELT I've ever owned! Nice FULL GRAIN leather, beautifully finished, with heavy duty brass rivets. The belt forms to your body and seems to be made to last a lifetime+. I will definitely recommend this belt to my friends and family!

This is an impressive belt! It is extremely functional, but also made to be seen... The quality and features are top notch. I paid attention to the comments about how to decide the size since I expected this belt to be my "go to" for any wear - casual or more formal (I don't do high formal...). My regular size is 40 (barely) so I went with 42. In using this new belt, I go to one hole tighter than the middle - which is perfect for me as I much prefer a longer tab than the short one resulting from having to make the belt looser. I really dislike using the outer holes from having to make the belt bigger. It is a bit difficult to decide for anyone else as one belt size bigger can be noticeable. This is a superior belt and the holes seem extremely well placed to be able to accommodate your personal preference on size and look. I vote in favor of considering the next size up compared to your "normal" size due to the thickness of this leather belt. I would do this one again in an instant - in fact, I did just purchase two of their leather wrist straps - haven't received yet - because of how much I like the look and feel of this company's product.

First off, I definitely like this belt. The leather is beautiful, thick and rigid. It might just last forever.
I normally wear American size 30-31 pants/jeans, I got this belt in a size 32. The fit is spot on with other 32 belts I usually get, and is a perfect fit for me (wearing the 3rd/middle belt hole as one is supposed to).
I knock off a star for 2 reasons (should knock off 2 for symmetry :) --
- The inner button snaps for fastening the buckle easily pops open. Fortunately, there are 2 snaps, so the buckle doesn't quite fall off, but it's annoying to check it regularly and press it closed. Chicago screws would most definitely be a better application here!
- There is the large brand logo imprinted on the tail of the belt. For this type of item, I would prefer that branding be invisible. Branding should be on the inside so that I can refer to it and let my friends know about the wonderful belt company, it shouldn't be on the outside so that anyone looking at me with a tucked shirt wonders what I'm advertising.

Hi sorry for the confusion, the belt in this drop will not have the brand logo on the front. Our makers mark is stamped on the backside so it cannot be seen when worn

Good quality, but keep in mind that this belt is not compact, anything but. Buckle is big, heavy and shiny. Leather is wide, thick and tough (as in beefy). Once closed , the buckle sticks out quite a bit. All in all, a Working Man's Belt.

Absolutely Great belts! Extremely heavy duty and well made. Although not specifically designed for it, they function well for concealed carry due to their thickness and 1 1/2 in width. In addition to their very high quality, they are handmade in the USA and are reasonably priced.

Great quality but size is a little small
I like the thickness and quality of this belt. Its seems sturdy and will hold up well. Hoping it stretches a bit as I ordered according to the size chart and barely can get to the second hole. Next time I guess I order 2 sizes up .
(edit) I see everyone else has the same problem. Maybe I can get a return)

d_willI didn't get a return as I understand that being in Canada I would have had to pay shipping etc over again. The belt seems to have stretched out a small bit or taken form a bit more after wearing for a few months steady and is now in the middle hole. I still think I would order another size up next time but the belt is nice.

Way too small
This belt is supposed to be a 38 from the center hole, I'm a 40 and it didn't even fit around me. I compared it with an older 34 belt I had and it was even shorter than that. I probably was unlucky and a shorter belt was marked as a 38, but I needed this for a trip and now I'm scrambling to find a belt 15 hours before I'm supposed to leave.

This belt is an outstanding product. I have little doubt that it will outlive me as advertised. Looks sharp, fits great and is exactly as described. Keeps my pants up and keeps my Skinth XL sheath with 2 pounds of tools in it exactly where I want it.
It *IS* fairly stiff, but I would expect no less of a belt this thick and made with such quality leather. The price is what I'd consider high for an ordinary belt, but this is no ordinary belt--it isn't the kind of product you're going to find at a department store.
This is a very well-made "buy once, cry once" purchase and worth every penny.

I love this belt. The leather is top quality. I searched for a strong feeling black leather belt for ages and couldn’t find anything, but then stumbled into this drop. I chose the brass buckle and it looks super cool, with a sports coat and shirt or just T-shirt and hoodie. I would join a new drop just for a backup belt if they drop again. A+
