Very Good Belt, But Needs More Attention to Detail
341509
A nice looking belt that I anticipate will continue looking great for years to come. I knocked off one star because there were a few loose threads on the belt that I had to trim off with scissors. It wasn't a deal-breaker, but it was definitely disappointing.

3-21-2017, Revision A:

I really like the belt.  I especially like the screw attachment to the buckle approach.  This means instead of adding holes in the belt, as one does normally (leather stretches or if you loose weight).  That instead you can dissemble the buckle end, cut the amount of inches in excess (in my case 4 inches (I'm a 38 and I ordered a 38-40), re-drill the hole for the screw assembly, and put it all back together.

Needed tools:
--  Med/ Large straight blade (standard) screwdriver
--  Heavy duty scissors or heavy wire cutters
--  Ruler or tape measure
--  Drill and 5/32th bit
--  Sliver sharpie (or other stand out color ageist black or the brown color of the belt)
Here how it works.  Near the buckle, there is this rivet looking dark bronze piece.  On the back side of the belt, there is a -- blade (standard/ straight)  screw head (apposed to the + (Philips) type screw head).  Unscrew the screw and the hole thing comes a part.  Don't over cut/ shorten it (I did this once and ruined a good belt - because, I could not easy get the belt end, through the buckle any more, the belt was too short).
Look to see how many holes you have left.  In my case none.  This means that there were 5 extra holes, that I could not use.  Each hole is one inch apart.  So after I dissembled the belt, I removed 4 inches from the buckle end.  I used my heavy duty scissors, that I bought just to open those annoying clear plastic cases, that everything seems to come in these days.  The center of the belt is 3/4 of an inch (half of 1-1/2in).  This is also approximately, the length from the newly cut end, to where the hole needs to be (just don't get any closer that 1/2in to the end, as it might pull out).  Place the belt on some wood, when you drill the hole.  I have a piece of wood I use as my backing to drill things through.
Reassemble:  The rough side is the inside.  The screw head is inside, too.  Reassemble.  Done...

I would have rated this belt a 5 star but, the feel of the leather doesn't feel of high quality. This is my first "Vegetable Leather" belt so, I don't really know how it's suppose to feel like. Nevertheless, it was properly divulged in the description and the fitment is pretty accurate. This however, should not compensate for a top rating. Time will tell but as for now, The use of this belt of about two months on a daily use has consequently shown some small wear and distortion from it's straight form. This is to be expected with time, the question is how long would it take? To avoid any noticeable disparity, I often alternate the belt's direction. All in all, I am happy with this purchase and highly recommend it for a daily standard/casual use.

This is a great belt. To start with, it comes in a really nice box. You do have to do some work though before you can wear it. Put them belt around your waist and tighten until it is comfortable. Mark where you need to cut off the excess, and then cut. It's really that simple (just have good, sharp scissors). As far as the actual belt, it's made of a fairly nice leather and the buckle had a good weight and feel to it. It ratchets in nicely but takes a couple days to get used to before you get it just right without overtighening on your first try. As a bonus, on those days you eat too much, the ratchet system lets you easily and covertly loosen your belt with just a tap.

This is a really good belt! It's high quality and I love the options for cinching. The only issue I noticed was that the release latch can be a bit tricky to get used to.

The belt is great fit and good quality, but the buckle itself, without having any metal is good, but it's a pain to tighten.

The belt mechanism is excellent - it looks good without being a bulky buckle, but I really don't think it's leather. One star off for this

I wanted something simple, tactical-looking, and durable. I'm a fan of many other 5.11 products and decided to try this belt, stepping up from a free version with plastic buckle that came with some 5.11 pants I bought a year earlier. I've worn this belt a lot, sometimes daily, and over a year later, it's in very good condition. The leading edge of the belt webbing, the angled part, is becoming very slightly frayed. I've had one issue with this belt, several months ago, which was that the sliding metal piece in the buckle fell out. I put it back in, fiddled with it, and couldn't really see how it came out. Nevertheless, it fell out a few more times over a period of about two weeks. Not while I was wearing it, but while I was undoing the belt (to take down my pants). Then for no apparent reason, this stopped happening, and it hasn't fallen out since. It's for this reason I give it four stars inside of five, but it hasn't stopped me from buying two more of the same belt in different colors since then, both of which have been fine so far.

UPDATE 6/25/2015: I think it's about three years since I wrote the first part of this review. I've finally had to replace this belt. The webbing was starting to wear, in the area where the loop folds over the go through the buckle. Just the top edge was wearing, but the frayed bits were making it difficult to pass the webbing through the buckle.

Overall, it was a very high-quality product that lasted over three years of near-daily use. There was the incident with the metal sliding part of the buckle falling out a few times, but that never happened again. I was happy enough with this belt to buy the exact same one as a replacement.

I am quite happy with my new belt.  If it could be improved, a bit more stretch would be nice!

Returned a cheap belt from this company, then bought this one. Very nice, only complaint is that the inside surface of this belt is a little rough so it doesn't slide through the loops very smoothly. Hopefully after use it will wear smoother. It is a quality product that will last long enough to break in. The return of the cheap belt went as smoothly as could be hoped for, so seems to be a good company.

I'm really enjoying this belt! It came packaged in a nice box suitable for gifting and included a little clip-on style keychain as an extra gift. You can cut the belt to the size you need, which is easy as there are markings on the back for different sizes, eliminating guess work. The ratchet lets you adjust the belt to the perfect tension with much more precision than a normal belt. The one thing you should know before buying is that installing the buckle is a little tricky- you need to press down on a clasp that forces sharp teeth into the leather of the belt. It works, but you'll need to use a lot of force. If you have arthritis or other problems, you may have  trouble with it. My suggestion is to lay the belt on a low table, place a folded towel over the clasp to protect your hand, and use your body weight to push down on the clasp with your palm. I can't speak about how durable it is just yet, but the construction seems sturdy. If it holds up well after a month or so, I'll be buying another in a different color.

Great belt, easy to adjust to a proper waist size, buckle scuffs and scratches way to easily and not cheap to replace

Good, durable belt.  Not fancy, but very functional and tough.  If you get your size, expect it to fit, but the tail will be somewhat short and will barely be long enough to tuck into the belt loop.  For some people, this may be desirable though.
Also realize that the buckle will stick out and is a bit thick in comparison to most conventional belts.  You'll get used to it fairly quickly.

belt is sturdy, if I had to be picky, I would say it is a little too thick. But works well and stays in place

Product arrived on time in a great package. Only problem is the actual color of the belt is brownish. More brown then black. In addition I was not made aware that in order to get the larger size there was an additional specification menu you had to access upon ordering. The current belt I ordered is a 41 in waist, where as I am a 42 so it is slightly snug. Belt and ratchet design is great once you figure out how to work it. Comes with no instructions and I had to figure out how to release it via google/amazon reviews. May buy again as a larger size/ different color.

Good solid belt overall. The leather is broken in quickly, the hammer loops are VERY strong, and it has just the right number of pockets to hold my nails, screws, pencils, and other items. I especially liked the position of the tape measure pocket, as I always knock my tape measure off my belt when it's just on the side. The actual belt is strong, and really like the rivited holes.

Overall a good investment, and a quality product for the price.

Very heavy duty and good quality, as everyone has said.  However, I've only given this 4 stars since the buckle is just a little over-sized for the admittedly large strap.  Perhaps it looks normal, but could be a little smaller.  Also, the tan color is  truly tan and not light brown.  I have put some brown shoe polish on it to tone it down and make the stitching stand out a little less.  Looks much classier.  A good value, though...even admitted by the watch strap salesman that installed it for $5 for me.  He stated that this should last for  years.  I hope so.
