Product Description
These belts comes from Popov Leather, a small leather workshop in British Columbia along the west arm of Kootenay Lake. Each one is made from thick 9-ounce Horween Derby or Chromexcel: the original pull-up leather, known for its supple texture, exceptional durability, and legendary patina Read More
Initially I thought to get this belt to wear with my suits. But once I got it, it's apparent that this is more of a jeans belt than a suit belt. It's much more chunkier than I expected. Still a quality belt and I still like it, just wish it was thinner as I was really looking for a dress belt. Will recommend.
The leather quality is phenomenal compared to the crappy department store belts I've worn my whole life. Unfortunately, the brass buckle is an absolute brick. I guess in a pinch you could use it to defend yourself, but besides as a symbol of strength and manliness, there's no reason to have a belt buckle that weighs more than your phone. A belt buckle doesn't need to hold up a bridge. It's not subject to extreme stresses, so I would love to see these revised with a lighter, more practical steel/aluminum buckle.
Pros: attractive leather, double-layered, and soft (almost floppy), broken-in feeling.
Cons: not rigid enough for carrying equipment; use of snaps/rivets instead of screws for retaining the buckle (buckle cannot be replaced).
Horween makes some great leather but CXL is known to stretch more than most and hence I should have sized down from the recommended length. Now I have a belt that is a bit too long and sticks out to the side. The other issue is the loop is so far from the buckle that it pushes it to the side. There is no way to center this belt for most of my jeans due to the belt loops on the jeans. This is on several different brands and so I have to blame the belt for this one!
This by far the nicest belt ive ever had and its so well crafted that I'm certain its going to last for years and years! If theres ever another drop,ill be buying a black one.
