Mission Belt Men's Leather Ratchet Belt

التعليق

Updates: Ive owned all three of the belts for about two years now. All of them are still working fine with reasonable wear. I saw people having issues with all three manufactures. But mine are still working great. I noticed some new great new top grade leather belts from Mooniva and jumped on the deal and got the following belt. Wow, unbelievable belt! Mooniva Mens Leather Ratchet Belt Luxury Collection Small (20" - 32") Brown Im a huge fan of ratchet belts after I bought my first one from Mission belt website. Really love the adjustable ratchet buckle. I now owned this kind of belts from Mission, SlideBelt and a few from Mooniva. Here is my 2 cents comparing belts from these three vendors: Commonalities: - Very Similar ratchet mechanism, which is the main reason I liked ratchet belts. So easy, so flexible! - Great quality leather for a reasonable price Here is the rough comparison of belts from the three brands: Mission Belt (the earliest vendor selling ratchet belt): - Its buckles are rather simple and plain. Not many other textures and designs. I liked its black on black basic version. - Leather quality appears to be great. My first ratchet belt was a Mission bought from its website. Its still working fine. - Mission offers different belt colors, but its leather texture is rather plain and traditional. Not much of choice even with the newer edition I purchased - Width of the buckle and belts are slightly smaller. Most traditional mens buckles and belts are of same width as SlideBelt/Mooniva. I need a slimmer one for a few pants that I own. For others, I use SlideBelt/Mooniva. Mooniva Belt: - Mooniva is one of the best vendors that I bought from in terms of buckles. Its website also sells separate buckles that you can hookup with the belts you bought. Their choices of buckles are really amazing. - Leather quality appears to be great. It also have premium leather option, which will cost more. So far, my Mooniva belts still look great. - Different Mooniva belts has different leather texture. I picked the traditional ones. It has many other options. - Moonivas belt and buckles appears to be the same width as SlideBelt, but slightly wider than Mission. SlideBelt: - SlideBelt buckles are a little bit different from Mission and Mooniva. The switch is not using the small tab, but an flipper. - Leather quality appears to be ok. Surface texture is a bit rough. Just bought it not long ago. Will see how long it will last. - SlideBelt offers not only different belt colors, but it also has some texture variations that you can pick. - Belt and buckle width is about the same as Mooniva, but slightly larger than Mission. Ive uploaded a picture showing the ones that I own, one from each vendor. The one on the top is Mooniva, middle belt is Mission, bottom one is SlideBelt.

I have purchased 2 of these belts and the first one fell apart in about a year and the second I have only owned about 7 months and it too fell apart. The rivets fall out of the belt after a few months of regular use and will not hold when pressed back in. For the price of this product I would have though it should last longer then 6 months to a year. I am very disappointed because these are really nice belts but I will be looking else ware for my next one.

This belt was great up until the buckle just fell off. This belt only lasted a total of 36 days. One day after I got home from work I decided to change into more comfortable clothes so as Im pushing on the realease and undoing my belt the buckle falls off completely on to the floor. When I picked it up to inspect it more closely I noticed that one of the pins that was holding the buckle on the belt was missing so it must have just fallen off somewhere. At first I thought they were screws but after closer inspection they turned out to be just some cheap looking pin with serrations on it to hold it in place. So much for that because it clearly failed on my belt. Couldnt they have just used a more solid pin that went all the way through from end to end? Sure they couldve but it probably wouldve cost more to do that so they had to cut costs somewhere. Too bad because I really liked the belt. I liked how I could adjust it perfectly to point where it wasnt too tight or too loose it was just right unlike standard belts with the holes. I cannot recommend this belt to anyone unless they can come up with better solution to those crappy pins that theyre using to attach the buckle to the belt. So now I have a great belt that is a total useless piece of garbage. You have been warned.

I purchased this belt in May of 2014, its now February of 2017. I wear this belt daily, I am thin so I wear it will all of my pants for the most part. I trimmed the belt down to size when I got it, so it fits and has always looked very nice. Over the last few months, the leather has started to crack significantly. There are multiple vertical cracks in the leather in several places, though the belt still functions. I am not sure what to expect as far as lifespan for a belt, but I guess I was expecting longer than this. I will likely buy a replacement 35mm belt and keep my buckle, which still functions perfectly.

Honestly, I had never heard of a ratcheting belt before I ordered this, so I wasnt quite sure of what to expect. That being said, Ive had my Mission Belt for about a week now and I love it. The leather feels and looks like a great quality leather. The finish of the buckle (gun metal) looks great. My biggest concern was the how the buckle would function, but that quickly went away with my first use. This is in many ways easier than a classic buckle style. This type of buckle wont stretch or scratch the finish of the leather. The belt is true to size. I bought this belt specifically to wear with dress pants, but have liked it so much, it has become my "go to" belt. As of right now, I couldnt be happier with my purchase and will absolutely consider Mission Belt for future needs. Highly recommend!
