Marino Men’s Genuine Leather Ratchet Dress Belt With Automatic Buckle, Enclosed in an Elegant Gift Box

I ordered a bunch of stuff for a family reunion. It all showed up around the same time. I recognized everything I ordered except this unique exotic box. As I carefully opened it, I was impressed at every step to get down to the real deal. When I lifted the final lid, and saw the belt, coiled tightly, and the buckle, separately presented, I knew this was no ordinary belt.This belt is by far the best belt I've ever owned. I am large (okay, I'm fat), and being able to adjust the length right down to the inch, over a range of more than a foot, makes choosing the waist size easy.I can't attest to it's durability until I've worn it for a few years, but I predict is will outdo my expectations. It is a quality product.And the look? Classy. Simple buckle front that says "I don't really need an emblem or symbol to tell you I'm here". And the clasp mechanism is solid and sure, but easy to unlatch when you really need to go!The comparable Amazon belt offers were attractive too, and only slightly more expensive. But the Marino belt is a much better offer. The belt and buckle are made of top notch materials.I saved the box it came packaged in, expecting to coil the belt up and break the buckle down to return them to their original presentation look after every "party". No way. I'm wearing this belt every day, and not just on special occasions.Buy the belt - You will not be disappointed!

Good quality materials, and amazingly effective ratchet mechanism. My first one lasted about 2 years of constant use and the belt itself gradually wore out enough to warrant replacing it. The belt can be cut to length and easily reconnected to the buckle. The release mechanism is slightly tricky at first, but I got used to it after a few days. (The first time I put it on, I couldn't get it to release -- trapped in a belt! -- until I found the simple technique.) The best thing about these ratchet buckles is that they are much more finely adjustable than a regular belt with holes every inch or so. The ratchet has latch points about every half inch, so you can let it in or out even just to accommodate thicker clothing. And it can be adjusted very discreetly without anyone noticing that you're fiddling with your belt -- just slip it in or out a bit, even while driving. Another benefit is that there are no strained holes in the belt itself, because there's no prong from the buckle doing all the work. An excellent product; highly recommended.

The belt is made of really good materials, is very sturdy and looks great. It is nice that you can cut the length to that which fits you. Sometimes your waist is an off size i.e. 37. This belt can be cut to that exact length. I basically use this for when I'm golfing and the ratcheting buckle works great for fine tuning it to your waist size. The ratcheting adjusts it in small increments so it is easy to get just the right fit. While not a deal breaker, I wish the width was a bit wider. Most belts come in a inch and quarter width. The belt loops on my shorts are an inch and three quarters. I think, if the belt were a bit wider it would help keep the top of my shorts from rolling over. I also guess that if I lost a little weight, the roll over might not be so bad. Also, releasing the buckle takes a bit of getting use to. But once you master it there is no problem. Really like the belt and have purchased both a brown and a black one.Update, I'm such an idiot. To release the ratchet on the buckle all you need to do is feed a little of the belt into the buckle as if you were tightening the belt, this releases the pressure on the ratchet. Then simply move the ratchet up and there you go. Sorry it took so long to figure out such a simple thing.

Great belt but the way you attach the belt to the clip is new to me that works ok but seems half-assed. But this is nitpicking.This belt is great. It has the length advertised and you can easily cut to length with some scissors. Just be sure you cut it with a few inches to spare for the holidays lol. The belt is made of nice materials. The clip has a rubber finish to it with a small diamond texture to it making it look nice and very grippy as an added benefit. The belt itself is a leather/rubber finish material that's very flexible and strong at the same time.I use this belt to hold my pants up along with a 5+ pound EDC pouch for work and it hasn't failed me yet.The clip mechanism takes a couple of tries to figure out how the hell do you take the belt off but once you get it, it makes sense why it's made that way. It just worksTM:DR- Grab it in your size. it may be exactly what you wanted.
