Just received my brown belt with brass buckle, and am truly disappointed. The buckle is brass but the prong is silver (stainless steel). IMO....this looks completely stupid! Why would you do that?? Looking back at the picture, the prong does look silver, so I guess I am stuck with this, but it is ugly and stupid looking. Who would make a two-tone buckle?? That's why this crap is being mass sold on Massdrop and you can't return items. If you could make returns, they would have a slew of them.
Last time I will ever buy anything from Massdrop again. Was apprehensive about buying things without seeing them and my concerns were justified.

lol at 'working mans belt' that costs $50.
The strange fascination of cubicle dwellers with workwear and blue collar authenticity never fails to crack me up.

Has anyone had problems with the buckle tarnishing? I have a brass buckle that is badly tarnishing. And only worn about 10 times. Love the belt but hope this isn't an epidemic issue.

Went to their website to see what kind of company they really are.
OMG, I was shocked to see this product:

Yeah, guaranteed I would have been petrified in that encounter--those chicks were either too cool for school, or had no idea what could have happened.
I have been around bears myself on occasion, but only from the safety of my vehicle. I recall one encounter with a particularly dangerous Ursus Americanus I met up with in the wilds of the Yukon Territory, a few years back.
That one looked like a man-eater if there ever was one!

Apologies if I missed this in the description or if it’s already been asked and answered below - if you choose a stainless steel buckle on the brown, will it come with matching SS rivets? Also, do you make, or would you consider making the same type of belt in a slightly wider version, say 1 3/4“?

Got it in the works now. Should be doing a drop within the next couple months. Stay tuned!

Am I the only one who hates snaps on belts, and thinks they look and feel cheap? I really, really wish more places would use Chicago screws. I'd happily pay a few bucks more for Chicago screws over snaps. . . particularly because I won't buy any belts using snaps.
This one looks pretty good, too. Ah, well; maybe next time.

I appreciate your reply. I should have been a bit more clear that I don't doubt the quality of your snaps, but even if they're rock solid, they still look and feel a little off to me just because I'm not a fan of snaps. I know some heavy-duty snaps are incredibly durable, and I'm sure yours are great, but I've had *way* more snaps fail on me than Chicago screws, and that's just left a strong bad impression with me.
Combine that with the fact that i Just don't care for the look of them as much, and I don't think I can bring myself to buy a belt with snaps at this point. Other than that it does look great, though. If you guys offer one with Chicago screws, I'm absolutely in for it. ;-)
Thanks again for the response, though. It speaks highly of you and your company that you took the time to make an explanation and a persuasive argument.

I purchased a belt from another Massdrop vendor that used screws, and one of them fell off in the first week. Never found it. I vowed to never buy another until I found more sturdy fasteners. Thanks!

Can anyone comment as to how this compares with the "Don't Mourn, Organize" belts dropped awhile back? I bought a couple of those and they are great, I'm curious how this compares. Thanks.

Wow, thanks so much for this. Based on your review it sounds like DMO and Orion both make really high quality belts, but we are definitely happy to hear you prefer ours :)

”Picture 1: showing the cool pattern on the ABC belt vs, the more regular on the DMO. I think this is from the higher quality leather of the ABC?”
What makes you think that?

Just got my belt in and I couldn't be happier! The leather is thick and meaty, but surprisingly pliable for it's heft. Hardware appears to be made from heavy gauge brass - looks nice. Not sure what the user below was complaining about with the stainless-steel prong, as the photos CLEARLY show that the hardware is two-toned. I personally think it looks great, but hey - to each their own.
Time will tell if this belt is worth the extra dough, but my initial impressions are exceedingly positive.
One change I might make? Presentation. My belt arrived in a plastic bag, packaged in a bubble-wrap manila envelope. Not a huge deal, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little underwhelmed by the presentation. A nice box or bag with a belt hole puncher would have been a nice touch!

isomorphZetaHey, so happy to hear you like your belt and thanks so much for the feedback. Massdrop has some strict requirements on packaging but we will definitely see if we can work with them to upgrade it a bit for future drops.
