Very high quality
This belt is identical to one bought several years ago and have worn almost daily. Quality and fit were excellent- it still looks new. Bought this new one because of weight loss.

Not the same quality
I purchased the same belt a few years ago - the quality of the previous version was much higher. The leather seemed thinner on the newer version and it was harder to buckle because

Seems Longer than advertised
Size Purchased: 36 in
Weight: 150-160 lbs
The belt is fine, but I have problems with its size. I bought a 36 in. belt. The belt is 45 in from end to end. My other 36 in. belts are 41 inches from buckle to end. Isn't it

Nice looking belt, misleading description
Size Purchased: 32 in
Weight: 170-180 lbs
Great looking belt. However, the belt is advertised as being full-grade leather, when the item shipped is made of "genuine leather", which is a significantly lower grade of leather

Nice belt, runs big
Size Purchased: 34 in
Weight: 160-170 lbs
Great look and value. It’s meant to run larger, so if you wear size 34 pants, order a size 34. I usually order 2” longer but that’s not necessary with this belt.

Most I ever paid for a belt. Likely lowest quality belt
I ever purchased. Regardless of how tight you put around yourself it loosens. The weaves are very loose.

Eye-catching Design
An interesting and eye-catching design. It has the added advantage that you can fasten it at any point since you don't need holes in the leather. The problem I have is that it may

Finally found an actual braided belt
Nice "true" braided leather belt. Many are perforated leather with some decorative strands of leather to give an appearance of braided belt.

big price for a cheaply made leather belt
I bought a woven leather belt from LL Bean a few years ago, and it was great, this latest edition, not so great. It is woven with much thinner leather material, it seems very cheap

Very good while I had it
Size Purchased: 36 in
Weight: 150-160 lbs
The belt was very well made and the length was great. The downside is that TSA had me remove it along with my other belongings to go through the scanner, and I didn’t realize that

Not too great. Overpriced.
Size Purchased: 34 in
Weight: 150-160 lbs
The belt is made well, I guess, but the leather is pretty thin. I have no doubt that it will wear out prematurely as a result. I feel like it is overpriced and does not live up t

“Genuine leather, not “full grain leather”
Size Purchased: 34 in
Weight: 160-170 lbs
LL Bean did a little bait and switch with this product. I was looking for full grain leather belt, but this belt says “genuine leather” when I received it. That’s a big difference
