Fit Great, Flawed Belt Loop Spacing
353259
I swear they've changed the belt loop spacing on these, but I don't have an older pair to compare it with.

If you look at the rear picture, you'll notice the belt loops are only side, then one in the middle of the back. That's a long stretch and my belt slips upward so part of it is higher than the top of the jeans.

But, yeah, they're 501s. There you go.

It is as advertised - a close fit for a Plus model iPhone with a minimalist case.  Construction appears to be of good quality.

However, it's useless for me - the belt loops are for little dress belts, not the 1.5" wide western style belts I wear.  I won't bother sending it back since it was inexpensive, but if you wear jeans and western belts, avoid this.

Mechanically, it works well and fits perfectly.  The main problem I have with it is that when worn, it does not lay flat from side to side.  The right side of the buckle lays quite a bit lower than the other end where the mechanics are. It would seem that this is a very correctable design flaw by simply increasing the height on the right side.  But at least thus far Marino has chosen not to address it.  It will be interesting to see if the higher end ratchet belts such as Slidebelts has made this adjustment.

I'm using and liking the belt, but it did come with a few problems.  The sizing advice was to measure your waist and, if your waist was larger than one size but smaller than another, get the larger belt.  I measure 37+ and the available sizes were 36, then a jump to 40.  I had to hollow punch 3 new holes about an inch apart into the 40in belt to get it to cinch correctly. Also the 'Carhartt' embossing was marred by an extra impression across the top of the 'C' and the belt was scuffed along the edge in a couple of places that I fixed with a bit of shoe polish.

Not being a perfectionist this doesn't bother me but, for the price, it should fit and look top notch right out of the box.

Fits OK, there needs to be alice or molle straps in the back.  ITs just one long nylons belt loop strap.

The leather piece connecting the belt loop to the elastic band finally gave way after 10 months of wearing this belt very, very regularly (maybe 4 days every week).  Was a good fit for my size 24 pants. Considering the inexpensive cost, I'm going to buy another one of these, and a few other colors as well. I'd definitely recommend it!

These pants were shipped to me with a belt loop missing the stitching on the top. Therefore the belt loop hung down and did not function as a LOOP. I desired to wear these pants at a public speaking engagement and did not have time to ship them back so I stitched the belt loop back together. Beyond that these pants are great. I even spilled CLP (gun gleaning solvent) on the leg of my pants and was very irritated that I would be walking around with a large stain on them. However the pants either repelled most of the oil or absorbed it somehow. The stain was not visible without CLOSE inspection after a few minutes. Very happy with the pants; minus the defect they had when shipped. That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

Belt loop is a little small and loose on my tac belt.

Ordered two pairs of these. The first pair is exactly as expected and fits well. The second pair was missing one of the belt loops. I didn't go to wear it until after the return period expired since the first was fine. I'll have to try to sew on a new one from an older donor pair that is getting thrown out.

I think that the leather belt is a good deal for the price and was pleased with it when it arrived. My only complaints are that it doesn't have an extra loop to tuck away the excess of the belt. This is in part due to the belt being longer than I anticipated. I got a large which fits fine around my hips, but doesn't work around my waist. I had to add five extra holes which of course made it longer for when I wear it around my waist. I didn't want to bother to return it for a smaller size since I can now use it for both my waist with a dress and for pants. Side note: if you are going to add holes and don't want to buy the specialized belt hole puncher, take it to a local shoe repair store. The cobbler I took it to added the holes on the spot with the special tool and didn't charge me anything. Another place I called said that it would be only 50 cent a hole, so not bad at all.

the toolwork on the leather was beautiful. but BIG problem - the loops on the back of the belt were far too small and spaced too close for the ammo.

I like the look and feel of the ripstop cotton material but I  think the 4 Molle webbing loops are too much. I also didn't like the black patch so I  removed it. And I would have preferred attached cargo pockets as opposed to the removable pockets. The fit, for me, was spot on. I measured my waist at my navel and came up with 39 1/2 - 40 so I  ordered the M/L and it  fit's well. The 24" length was also just right. I'm having some problems with the pleats. The stitching on the sewn down pleats is unraveling.  I've already repaired two and now a third one is coming undone. Overall, I like the kilt a lot, just a few tweaks and it would be perfect.

I bought a larger size (38) based on reviews and it fits great ( my waist is 34). I have one belt loop hole left. Nice quality and looks good. Its slightly narrower than i like but very close. I would purchase this again.

I love these jeans and had several pairs before I ordered them.  They have taken two of the belt loops off of the worn looking jeans and not moved the others to compensate for their removal.  It's a bit irritating because your belt rides up over the waist of the jeans.  I also ordered a pair of the darker jeans and they had all of the belt loops although they fit a bit larger than the worn ones.  Over all I am happy with them, but wish they had the other two belt loops.

The material was good, and the jeans fit ok. What I did not like is that there are only 5 belt loops, not 7 like most jeans have.  There is only one belt loop in the back (it's in the center), and that causes my belt to come up over the jeans on my back hips.  I would not recommend these jeans.

I accidentally managed to get a couple sized bigger than I needed. It is good to note that there are 5 holes on this belt. In relation to the indicated size, the holes sit at -1", 0", +1", +2", +3". I would have preferred a belt that has more smaller holes than bigger holes, so it can always be tightened more if needed, but when knowing the hole arrangement, you can just plan accordingly.

**Update**  I used this belt daily, and while I liked its fit & wear, it has failed after 9 months.  The rivet failed.  (See attached)  dropped to 2 stars.  Reading other reviews this buckle seems to fail regularly.  I don't think I will buy again.

I really like the belt.  Once you get used to the latching (and unlatching) mechanism you will love it.  You definitely need to practice releasing the latching mechanism, if not and you have a sudden need to use the bathroom, you might find yourself in a panic mode trying to get the belt off!  The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the tongue of the belt is extra long and there is no way to adjust its length.  It would be nice if it were an inch or two less in length.  I'd buy this belt again.
