Men's Braided Leather Belt, Fully Adjustable Casual Strap for Everyday Wear

Excellent quality and generally feels like it will hold up over the random no-name brands on Amazon.

I purchased this same size belt maybe 5 years ago at a Dockers store in a mall; and I've worn it an average of one day per week. It is now starting to fray along the edges, so I ordered a replacement belt from Amazon. This replacement is more flexible than the belt I got from Dockers, and that addressed the only concern I had about the first belt. This belt allows me to adjust tightness around my waist for many events, such as: When standing up I can easily tighten the belt so it stays over my hips, and when sitting down I can loosen the belt for added comfort. When putting on a quilted shirt (say if the weather cools off) I can tuck it in my trousers and loosen the belt; when removing the shirt (say if I'm being more active) I can easily tighten the belt. I have a braided belt that does not have actual buckle holes all along it's spine like this Dockers belt has, yet I can adjust tightness with the braided belt; however, it is tricky getting the buckle rod (?) through the webbing and centered on the braided belt; plus, the braided belt looks frayed along the area where the buckle rod has gone in and out many times. The Dockers belt does not show wear around the holes where the buckle rod is placed. Of course, you can always adjust the tightness of a belt with holes every inch or so; however, each pair of trousers has a different thickness of material between the belt and your body; therefore, this belt with holes every quarter inch along its entire length provides maximum adjustability for every pair of trousers.

Yes, it's true -- it's not at all that uncommon to "hate" loving these wonderful belts -- which last about eight months (more or less) and actually begin to fray after a few weeks of use. But so what! All I do is simply sign on to Amazon and order *another* Docker's Glazed Top Braided belt (maybe even three or four) for only twenty bucks apiece. Why? Because they're worth it! They fit around my waste *so* damn comfortably -- far better than any other belt I've ever used to hold up my trousers. And why is that? Because they provide many more eyelets or "belt hole gradations" (now, *there's* a good term) than your normal belt, which often winds up fitting you either too loosely or too tightly. Give 'em a try, won't you? Especially if you tend to have a "quirky waist" -- no judgment here! -- and are loath to squander precious time in the men's department trying on (and ultimately settling for) one after another of those "normal" belts that inevitably ALMOST fit...but never *really* quite satisfy.

Very good quality leather and good looking. However, it does not stretch at all, so it does not meet my expectations since I want to use it for golf pants.

I ordered size 34 fits great and great quality for the price !

Ditto on the poor longevity of this belt. This is my 3rd belt from Dockers. I like the style but in less than a year the faux leather starts to break down. I’m moving on from Dockers and will pay a bit more to get better quality.

So far so good. Nice belt and it hasn't broken yet.

OK, this is my "daily driver" belt. I literally wear it every day (and have worn this exact same model belt for many years), with shorts, slacks and even more formal occasions. Pros: It's very adjustable, open it a notch for comfort, cinch it down when your wearing cargo shorts with water bottles in your pockets. And being a bit older, I appreciate it easily handling my weight fluctuations over time. It looks appropriate on both casual working in the yard days, and heading out on the town. Cons: Well...since I wear them everyday, and often take long walks with water bottles in my pockets, I cinch them down quite tight often....and of course that major stress does cause the belt to wear and then eventually break and start to unravel after a year or two. But, I can't really fault the belt for that...I know I cinch it uber tight at times....the infinite adjustability and day-to-day casual to more formal use is what makes it a winner for me.
