Timberland Men's Casual Leather Belt

Comment

Sturdy cowhide leather belt designed for bigger waists. Ive worked with leather in the past and used belt blanks from Tandy leather stores going back to the 1970s, so this belt is much more "floppy" than the thick & stiff leather belt blanks of old & slightly thinner than a Carhartt leather work belt. It is made in India. I like the leather sleeve on the outer part of the belt buckle. It will prevent the belt from wearing as much when cinching it for tightness (big men need to do this so pants will stay up). The belt buckle is attached by folded-over-and-sewn leather (no snaps) so it will not suddenly break away. I ordered one size larger than jeans and it fits well. Leather will stretch when pressure or moisture (water,sweat) is applied to it, so you will need a hole punch to put extra holes in it as it stretches. It is best to alternate belts and give each a "rest" for a week so they dry out and shrink somewhat. Good price for a leather belt. This is the 2nd belt weve purchased from Timberland. It lasts and lasts but the belt loop came off after two years. We could have stitched it back if I still had my leather crafting toolkit with the special thread & needles, but I dont so we just ordered a new belt. I think any shoe repair place could also have fixed the loop.

Finally, a belt sturdy enough to take some torque and not deform. Ok, Im a bigger guy, I like to really get that belt tight to prevent plumbers crack and keep my shirt tucked in (also a public service). Most belts start to delaminate or fall apart really quick. Not the timberland. 4 months, no sign of stretch or deformation. Will buy again!

I got this belt about 5 weeks ago and it already broke. The tongue part of the buckle broke (see picture). I didnt wear it every day, and only used it as a belt to hold up my jeans on my waist. I really liked the size, and color of this belt but the quality of it is absolute garbage. I would recommend buying a different belt from a different manufacturer. This poor quality has made me reconsider buying a timberland jacket and boots.

This is solid leather, unlike many belts that have a leather veneer. They seemed to be sized a bit on the large size. Im a 44 and ordered the 48. The 46 would have resulted in my using a notch in the middle of the available choices.

might be okay for just wearing out on the town. not good for working though. very thin, it is not made from the same leather as the boots, and dont buy 4 sizes bigger. thats ridiculous. I bought this belt thinking it was gonna hold my pants better for when on concealed carrying. I was wrong. And the cheap belt I got from walmart works and feels better.
