Earnda Men's Genuine Leather Braided Belt Buckle Fashion Woven Strap

This was a nice looking, well fitting belt when new. However, after about a month, the black finish wore off the surface where it passes through the buckle. less than 2 months old, it looks shabby.

An issue with any woven leather belt is that where the buckle rubs the leather, the leather will show wear faster than plain leather belts, partially because buckle doesn't hit the exact same place on the belt each time it's put on, and partially because the thin leather strips used to make the belt chafe and show worn leather quickly.Most belts I've had take 3 to 9 months to show this wear, depending on the thickness of the leather strips and whether the leather is dyed deeper and/or on the sides/back of the leather strips.This belt, though, has unusually thin strips with minimal coloring. It took only three wearings (three!) for it to show visible chafing and curling of the leather strips.Low quality!

When I received this I found it extraordinarily long. Then I read the fine print: size 32-38. Thus it is 6" longer than the 34" it replaces. Buyer beware, this is a cheap way to avoid making actual sizes.

It is unlike the leather woven belt I have had for 30 years ( it is a fused weave versus the braided type of my old belt ) but the fixed holes for the pin have numerous and more user friendly than the old braided version that challenges the tension because of an old, meandering pin position. Such a distinction makes this belt a winner

This belt is so much better than the common brand of braided belt, very good in quality and construction. It is a tad wider than I expected than from the pictures, but not really an issue. After several months of use I have no doubt this will last a long time.

The site said to order up a size because the belt runs small. We did not find this to be the case. If anything it’s slightly big. We ordered my husbands usual size and it’s all good.

It looks like a good sturdy belt and says it’s genuine leather so it should last a long time. My one complaint is that it’s darker in person than in the picture. I thought it looked pretty sharp in the picture. What I mean is that the picture I showed more of a two tone brown, but what I got it’s just the same old boring dark brown. So three stars.

The belt works out ok, I will put it to good use. Sizing a bit funky, I probably could have got the next size smaller than this one. Its a good choice, chances are I will buy another one when this one wears out.
