GelanteCanvas Elastic Fabric Woven Stretch Multicolored Braided Belts

I'm satisfied with each of the color variations I bought, but.. I've learned one important thing. Buy the belt length that properly matches your waist size.Often, with most belts, I buy the next length up. ie: I'm a 32 waist but buy a 34 belt, because too often I've had 32 belts not have enough extra length for a clean fit.These do, and they stretch, so.. Stay with your actual waist size.They work equally well with jeans and business casual or semi-formal.I doubt I would wear them with a suit, but what are the odds of them being noticed as a "casual" belt?Three things I love about these belts?- You cinch the belt anywhere you want, between stitch crossovers. So you can easily make micro-adjustments, as opposed to fixed distance belt holes.- In regards to belt holes.. You no longer have to worry about your most used belt hole stretching or tearing. You loop the belt latch between elastic intersections.- Best of all? No more splitting layers. No matter how much or little I've spent on belts? WHEN they eventually split layers? I feel like it was a waste of money.If you want an all around belt that is available in a variety of colors? This is a good option. I've used my Black and Brown belts daily for 4 months after purchase. They show zero signs of typical belt wear and tear.At a fraction of the price.

It's exactly as pictured. It fits well. The only complaint is that the elastic after about a month of use is starting to stretch out somewhat permanently which means it's getting longer over time and so it's not as snugly fitting unless I start running more belt through. It hasn't been a real issue yet but I probably pull 3 inches more through the buckle than I needed to when I bought it and I haven't really fluctuated in weight in that time.

This is a beautiful and well-made belt. It's the best non-leather (vegan) belt I've ever had. I just ordered two more - one in black and one in white. UPDATE: I reduced the rating from 5 to 4 stars, because when I received my order of two more of these, both in medium, the black one was the same size as the previous "medium," and was fine, but the white belt was over 1.5 inches longer and was too big to be usable. So, I returned it and ordered both a white and a beige in "small." Weirdly, both of the "small" belts were only about a half inch shorter than the "medium." Here's of photo of the black "medium" and the two "small" belts in white and beige. So, even though this is a wonderful product, be aware that the sizing may be inconsistent, as it was for me. For me, it was still worth the hassle to eventually get four of these nice belts in a usable size.

I avoided buying any reversible colored belts because they tend to look cheap and wanted something casual and nicer looking. I'm a 36 waist and normally buy 38 size shorts and pants to have them be a loose and not exact fit. Was afraid the 36/38 Large measurements might be too exact, but they fit perfectly. They hold the shorts and pants up giving them support and the leftover belt blends in perfectly after setting them. I like not having any holes, since they make the belt have a uniformed look to whatever you're wearing. The material feels like stronger cotton, made to look like like string material similar to a rope. Very sturdy feeling and flexible. The center belt buckle fits perfectly in the center. In my situation, I could go exact fit 36 or higher for a loose feel that still gives support.EDIT 4/21/2017:Still love the belt, but just as a warning. Some docker short tend to have smaller belt holder tracks. I bought a set of dockers that the belt holder was thinner than normal. You could put the belt threw like normal, but after it loops around the waist and you go for the 2nd tie, the leftover belt could not go under the belt track again. This is just the design of the shorts made to be minimal. Regular pants and shorts have worked like normal. This is because the head of the belt is slighly thicker, while the body is thinner and the design of the new docker shorts was minimal and more exact fit to compress on the body. I could still use the belt like normal, just not tie the belt head under the track a 2nd time. Since the body of the belt is flexible fabric and not hard leather, it lays flat on the body, shirts in or out, tied or not tied at the end.

I've worn these canvas elastic stretch belts with my dockers, jeans and summer shorts for a long time. Until a few years ago (purely out of habit) when it was time to replace one, I bought them at WalMart. The last time I shopped there for one, they didn't have any. After about 6 months of checking with no luck, I gave up and checked Amazon. OMG I wish I'd checked earlier! Not only did Amazon have the beige and the navy I been wearing for years, they had many other colors as well. Since then I've replaced my navy and purchased a black and a chocolate brown all through Amazon. This most recent purchase was to replace my beige one.The Amazon belts are a better quality than the WalMart ones were, by far, with a heavier/thicker gauge metal buckle and a beefier canvas webbing. The Amazons belts just "feel" better not only in your hand but around your waist. I wish I could say they are less expensive, but (honestly) it's been so long since I purchased one at WalMart, I cannot recall what I paid for them. Needless to say... it doesn't matter. I like the Amazon belts better anyway!

Because of the stretchiness, you may want to consider subtracting an inch or so from your actual gut size, and buying the belt accordingly. It's actually sized accurately, but in order for it to actually hold your pants up, it has to be stretched a bit. Still, a very well-made belt, especially for the money.

Turns out it's too stretchy. You need to re-tighten as the day goes on. As you re-tighten the excess belt gets too long as a result. Would not recommend.

Very simple belt, but seems solid / well made, priced right, and exactly what I was looking for. I purchased one to make sure I liked it and that it fit correctly. Check.

Works well, but with my tummy it slips a little down, because it stretches.Feels comfortable.

Little wide and curls, but otherwise it is a nice belt. The adjustability of it is nice.

It fits, I like the appearance, it should last well, no problem.

Have tried several different elastic woven belts from Amazon. The quality was as good, if not better that the more expensive ones. Purchased a second just for yard work pants.

the belt were exactly what I wanted and needed

Not life-changing, but Not bad. Looks good, stretchy, so fits easy. Grey color facilitates a capsule wardrobe. Goes good with chinos, jeans.

Exactly what I wanted.

The belt feels different than the last time I purchased it. It seems weaker and stretches too much. I would return it but I don't want the hassle.
