CarharttMen's Casual Bridle Leather Belts, Available in Multiple Styles, Colors & Sizes

Additional comments - some people said this belt would only last a year or two. I use mine every day, and it's now well over 4 years old. I think this is a very good belt and I am hard on my clothing, etc. It still looks almost new to me after all this time.Amended review: After having the belt for probably three weeks, I had to go to the 5th hole, from the 3rd hole. The belt still looks and feels great, but it's like it got longer. I assume the leather stretched, most likely because part of that time, I was on vacation, walked many miles with the hot sun, accruing lots of perspiration and likely that caused it to stretch. I think new leather will do that. It's still a 5 star belt as far as I am concerned.Original review:I read all the reviews for this belt, and some folks said that the quality was poor and to only expect 1 - 3 years from the product. While that might be true for those that might wear this belt 7x a week, for me, I don't care, as I don't expect to use it more than about 2x a week, and then for only a few hours. So wear possible issues are not a concern for me.As for size, I was worried that it might not fit correctly as way too often I have gotten products ordered over the web where the size is not well measured. For example underwear that is 2x in size, but fits for me like 3x, but when I buy similar products that say 2x from various stores, they all pretty much fit like 2x. Similarly, I have ordered 3x and had it fit like 2x. It seems that mail order products are not very consistent.In this case, I ordered the maximum length, 54", and I'm more like 54.5", so I was worried, "what it it's too small?" As it turns out, the 54" was PERFECT. I'm at the middle hole of the set of 5 holes. Exactly where I wanted it.As for appearance, the belt looks quite nice to me. I like the satin finish, and the general design of the belt.So, bottom line for me, it's a 5 star product.

I do think these are good belts, I've had a couple for several years and they've held up well, this one seems to be the same quality. I'll mention that this particular version, Bridle Leather Classic Buckle, has what I consider to be the advantage of having a replaceable buckle arrangement - notice the snaps in front of and behind the retainer loop. I'll also mention that the sizing recommendation in the description is appropriate - a person does want to go up a size from the pant waist size else the belt will likely be too small. I'm happy with it.

I’ve used a Carhartt belt before and it held up forever without much deterioration and this one seems to be of the same quality. A lot of belts will start cracking or show excessive wear only in a few months but these hold up well over time. Smooth buckle action and overall solid quality.

First, I feel like this a very high quality belt that's going to last me a while. Second, I know I'll probably get hammered for saying that a leather belt is squeaky, and if I didn't want that, I shouldn't have gotten a leather one; saying that, it's squeaky. The metal buckle and the leather naturally rub against each other when you move, causing the squeaky sound. Some things that I've read on dealing with this are 1. do NOT use oil on it as that weakens the leather, 2. DO use baby powder where the leather and metal buckle rub, 3. once the leather is broken in, it'll stop.Another note, I rarely have to wear suit pants, but when I did the belt was a very tight fit with the belt loops. It fit, but I don't know much about dress pants, and if the belt loops on mine were standard sized (if there is a standard size). I like the width (1.5") of the belt and it fits fine in jeans, but if you where dress pants a lot, you might want to see if there's a version of this belt with a smaller width.Finally, I would recommend this, and in several years when I've worn this one out, I'll probably get another.

So far it seems like a nice belt. The leather is thicker than usual- it's a nice looking, sturdy belt.We ordered this for a costume on a deadline - so nice to be able to just find it and have it come in quickly. Unfortunately it was too short- my son wears a 36 in pants so we ordered a 38. It was about 4 inches too short. I had been told to order 2 inches up but that ended up being too short - need to order more like 8 inches up. Another family member got it though - he liked it too. He seemed quite happy to get it. I'm sure Amazon would have let us return it but as I say, my other family member really liked it and wanted it for himself. It seems to be a belt type quite popular with my guys.So we didn't have time to order another one, so we went to Wally world- got a no-name one that looked very similar but wasn't nearly as thick a leather and the buckle wasn't as sturdy and it was $16. I'f I'd had time I'd just have ordered a 2nd one of these.The buckle on the one we got was very secure. Seems like it will last, if it doesn't, I will update the review.
