Solid leather, lightweight, nonallergenic
Perfect Father's Day gift! I always gift him a nice belt for the holiday and was excited when I found this. He has metal allergies and often even expensive belts will be allergenic and won't have proper labeling to identify any that could be an issue. The leather is solid and a bit stiff but I expect it will break in nicely and there won't be any issues with stretching or deformation that can happen with softer leather belts. He also loves that it is carbon fiber as he has had trim custom made from carbon fiber for his BMW. There was no bubbles in the buckle and it is really lightweight. It seems a bit pricey but you have to consider the life of the product when factoring in price. I expect this should last us several years and there is a lifetime warranty as well that makes this well worth the purchase price. My husband though it looked small compared to his other belt but it measured as expected. (38" is ~38" to middle hole and I only measured leather, not the buckle.) The logo printing is perfectly placed on the bottom side of the buckle so he not a walking advertisement. He's bragged about it to several friends and has been showing it off. I highly recommend.

Whatever happened to standards?
This is a nice belt. Quality is good. Buckle is carbon fiber and is well-proportioned. However, the length is shorter than the other belt I ordered from you earlier that cost more but also of 36 inches in length. Whatever happened to standards?

Works as advertised.
I fly weekly for business and I do TSA precheck. Only thing that always bugged me, even though I love doing TSA precheck, that I always had to deal with the hassle of taking my belt off. Just used this belt for the first time flying back home from Chicago. I was nervous at first that TSA would initially stop me before walking thru the scanner and then it going off. So no one pointed out I had my belt on and cruised right thru the scanner without a beep. Was just awesome just walking thru, grabbing my bag and off I went to my gate. If you fly like I do, I highly recommend getting this belt. For I am not looking back taking mine off any more.....Update 10/2022, still wearing this belt and fly every week for work and not once has it set off the metal detector at the airport screening.

Nice quality leather belt with a (TSA-friendly) carbon fiber buckle
This is the most money I've spent on a belt but since I travel quite a bit and work at an airport, it is convenient NOT having to take off my belt through TSA. When I wore a regular belt, sometimes the metal detector would sound off and sometimes it didn't. It was hit or miss. Now I never have to worry about that. I'm sure the leather would last on this belt and hoping the buckle would too. Wish the warranty was longer, just for piece of mind.

It does what I needed it to do
It works as a belt and in the 5 weeks I have had it I have been through airport security metal detectors about a dozen times with no alarm sounding. The quality and finish of the belt seem pretty good. I can’t think of any belt I have had that has fallen apart and as long as the buckle holds up I can’t imagine that this one will either. The color in the Amazon product pictures shows the belt looking maybe a little darker and with a more matte finish that the one I received but then that is always the risk of buying something you cannot physically hold and see. Maybe it will fade and weather with use. I measured an existing belt to the hole most used as suggested but I find that I am using the second hole from the buckle on the new belt (see picture). This is no big issue for me, if I some how manage to lose enough weight to run out of holes I can always make another. I ordered on a Tuesday with an estimated delivery the following Tuesday. It arrived in 2 days on Thursday via USPS so that was a bonus. While my person preference would be for a slightly wider belt with some more choices of color the one I got was pretty much what I expected and does what I need it to do. Airport security is a necessary hassle but this new belt has made it a little more bearable.

Awesome Belt
Ordered this belt for the carbon fiber buckle and overall look. I won't need to take this one off at TSA check points.. Very pleased with the robust leather used which is not too stiff but just right. Tanning was done right and looks great.
