I had a finger-slip and ordered the wrong size. Even though it hasn't shipped. Drop says the order can't be changed. If anyone can use a size 36, please contact me. I'll be glad to ship at the sales price ($55) and split the postage. If you can swap a size 38 for it, even better. That's what I need.
Order two of these - one for me and one for a friend's birthday. The leather of these is unbelievably even heavier than the other Don't Mourn, Organise! belt that I own (also via Massdrop), and beautifully finished. Simply the best belts I have ever encountered.
GeneralStrikeHaha I only realised this was a different model after you pointed it out! I have the other one, and I cannot forsee it failing within the next 7 years at least XD Will probably order this in a different colour
Second time's the charm? The last time this drop was active I ordered a black belt with a brass buckle but received a stainless steel buckle. Massdrop did give me the option of keeping the belt and getting a $15 credit on my account or returning it for a full refund (I chose the latter).
Hopefully I get a brass buckle this time :)
Anybody want to purchase one or two belts? I ordered one brown, one black, size 34, width 1.5", each with stainless buckles. They're just too thick and heavy for my purposes.
GirchyGirchyJust saw this. I'm guessing you don't still have the brown one? What size jeans do you wear -- I know belt sizes can vary depending on brand. Thanks!

elioporkyThey're both gone. I wear 32 pants and like the ones I ended up with (1.25" DMO Bridles). I do have a couple of British Belt Cos I'd like to get rid of, though!
All my exsiting belts measure exactly 39 inches. But this drop offers oonly 38 or 40 as choices. Wondering if I should order a bit too short or a bit too long? Any suggestions?
FauxtomI went a bit long last time (as the belt I was measuring had stretched over time - it was cheap) and as a result I tend to be in the second-to-last hole. Depends on whether you expect to gain or lose weight!
In case anyone is still deciding on this, I'll comment since I got mine in the last drop.
Quality is A+, this is a beefy belt and shouldn't have any of the durability issues you see in cheap department store belts. The thickness is worth noting since it actually makes it hard to wear with some slimmer shirts when not tucking in, for example (buckle, etc. kind of take up a lot of space and stick out). I went with 1.25" width and feel like it's a good width for most casual outfits. This isn't a formal belt but can be worn with nicer outfits, chinos, etc.
For sizing, I'll reinforce that you should order 2" up from your normal BELT SIZE, not just pants size. I buy nearly all my pants in size 31 (true waist 34") and I got a 36 in this belt -- fits perfectly. Most belts I get in 34 but DMO sizes differently. If you get your normal belt size you're gonna have a bad time.
Very happy with this belt but I would look for something slimmer if you plan on wearing it a lot with untucked shirts, in general.
Well... I got my belts today. I sure hope they last longer than usual belts I'm getting from department stores - those look better new, but don't last more than two years. These don't look like much, quite rough. They definitely thick - gotta give them that. They anything but soft - rather stiff. The black belt inside develops creases really easy. Usually it's indication of cheap leather. I'm sure that's not the case here, but will see how it will last.
