Men's Classic Belt - Custom Fit

My husband is always on the lookout for a good, universal belt and he has been very pleased with this one. It’s sturdy, easy to adjust, and stays in place! Plus you can dress it up or down, which is always a plus!!

Got this belt for my son. It's great quality and it looks amazing. He says it fits him perfectly and he's very happy.

Slidebelts are the best belts I've ever owned. And I'm not normally a fan of braided / ratchet type belts. A year or two ago I found that my belts were always tearing near the eyelets. Maybe it is the fact that I'm 10-15 pounds heavier than I used to be, or maybe it was the fact that I like a tight belt. Whatever the cause, I was having to buy a new belt every 3-5 months. In terms of durability, Slidebelts have exceeded my expectations. My first one finally gave out after about a year of use. Since I had a positive experience, this is my second slide belt. Here is my breakdown of pros & cons: PROS: - More durable in my case than any other belt I've owned - Cut-to-fit. I start out a little long and if starts to wear near the buckle, I just snip it off and re-insert the belt part. - Size adjustment is pretty granular, so you can get just the right fit when tightening it around your waist. - Can also buy just the leather portion without the buckle when your old one does finally fail. CONS: - The finish on my old gunmetal buckle started to chip, but since I never tuck in my shirt, I really didn't care. - On my old belt, the latch that holds in the leather would occasionally flip open causing the buckle to detatch and the belt to come apart. But the latch feels much more secure so far on the new belt. Not sure if that will fade over time. With the old belt I resorted to putting 2 drops of super glue in there to help hold it together. It worked, but when I needed to remove it, it required a little extra force to get open. It was an acceptible workaround for me with the old belt, but I'm hoping my new one doesn't have the same issue. - I have occasionally nudged the release lever while doing various things which causes the belt to loosen a bit. (maybe 2-3 times over the year) The cons certainly are not enough to keep me from purchasing this product, but it was enough to deduct one star.

I love how easy it was to adjust the size of the belt with the notches to cut the belt off at my perfect size. The belt is easy to use and holds in place well.

My son absolutely loves this belt! It was easy to cut to size and slides into the buckle easily. Very pleased.

After using these for four months I have to say that they weren't worth it for me. About every four or five days the leather is stripped out where the buckle grips it. I have been steadily cutting the belts down a half inch at a time. I switched to the second belt recently after the first became too short. I'm considering drilling through the buckle and belt to try rivets or screws to secure it but the leather of the first belt was splitting as well so I don't know how much time that will buy me. Another issue, just annoying is the tendency of the belt to slip while moving. The easy adjustability without constantly having to fix slippage was actually one of the main reasons I went with this belt over the canvas belts i had been using. I adjust it a bit less than the canvas but still have to every few minutes when moving around. For me the slight decrease in frequency in messing with my belt isn't worth the current $50 asking price and DEFINITELY isn't worth the $75 I paid for each belt. Original: I've been using a canvas belt for a long time for their finer adjustment. Tried this because it looks good and the ratchets won't slip while walking. Just started using it so I can't vouch for longevity but construction feels really solid. The buckle isn't some thin-pressed material, it's.... beefy. I also really like the belt itself. That it's designed to be cut/adjusted is an interesting feature. Great for people losing weight and good for everyone else to set the length to their preference. The only improvement IMHO would be to increase the length of the ratchet teeth band so you could have a wider range of sizes after cutting. I haven't measured but it looks to be around 4".

Having been through many belts in 1 year, the holes always tear and looks horrible. I found Slidebelts on Amazon and I though I would give it a try (since I tried just about every belt in the past, from Calvin Klein to Tommy Hilfiger). I open the box and attached the belt to the buckle. It is heavy, appears very sturdy and well built. The style is classy and the Matte Black buckle complements any pants. The leather belt material appears very well made is very flexible (which translates into comfort). Upon trying it on I was hooked (literally). The belt adjusts to just about any size and is extremely easy to adjust. If the belt is to tight while sitting, just lift the latch and loosen the belt, and when standing simply pull the belt to tighten it (no need to even lift the latch). I was worried about how securely it grips, but I find the grip very tight and secure. One important note: cut the belt 1 to 2 inches bigger than your pants size (I cut mine to small). Would I buy this kind of belt again? 100% YES.

This belt is well-designed, attractive, and well-made from quality materials. Its package looks classy, too, and includes instructions for trimming length and for use. It consists of 2 main parts, the solid but not overly large metal belt buckle and the leather belt itself. The tapered (nice) end of the leather belt has a plastic "ratchet" panel embedded on its unfinished inside -- this is what engages with the buckle and allows you to quickly "buckle" the belt in any of dozens of closely-spaced positions spanning a range of about 6 inches in total, not just in one of half a dozen widely-spaced punched holes. The other (flat) end of the belt is the end that the wearer trims to a bit longer than the "right" length using scissors. To make things easy, the inside of the belt has line markings every inch near the end, so you can easily trim it to a known length if you want. IIRC, my belt was at least 46" long before I started trimming (it might have been longer, like 50" - don't quite remember). Scissors work fine to cut the belt, even though it's a single (not bonded) piece of leather, and so should hold up well to stresses. One end of the metal buckle has a rotating "bear-trap-style" toothed jaw to anchor the square end of the leather belt. Once the belt has been trimmed to roughly the right length, just rotate open the jaw, slide in the belt end, and rotate the jaw closed, locking the belt end in place. Use of the belt couldn't be easier. To "buckle" it, just slide the tapered end into the buckle just under the outer plate. You'll shortly feel/hear a slight "ratcheting" noise -- just let go the buckle and the belt will stay closed at that position. To tighten further, just pull the tapered end further; to loosen or remove the belt, pull the buckle end's outer plate outward, releasing the ratchet and allowing the belt to be moved backward.
