CHAOREN Mens Dress Belt - Ratchet Belt Leather 1 1/4" Comfort Click - Perfect Companion to Mens Dress Shoes

These belts are simply awesome.The back story everyone can relate to:For years I had so many leather dress belts, the regular ones where to fasten it you pushed the clasp/pin/buckle through one of the many holes in the leather. We all have those belts, and yeah, those work of course. But those types of belts always wear pretty bad. They develop creases/wear marks from having to pull the belt back on itself in order to insert the closing pin into the hole. And they wear around the actual holes just from daily use. Plus, whenever you'd gain/lose an inch off your waste and would need to start using one of the adjacent holes, the belt would look really bad since all of the wear marks would be really obvious on the sizing hole which you had been using.I think I wrote that clearly, and those problems should make sense to anyone who has ever worn a belt.So, the awesome solution: These new types of belts!The locking mechanism is kinda genius. As you slide the belt through the front buckle, you can hear the locking mechanism clicking on the back side of the leather, and it hold in place without slipping. If you want it a little tighter, just push it through another click. When you want to remove it, just pull out on the buckle and the belt releases easily. Imagine a zip tie, push it through, click click click, locked in place. But unlike a zip tie, these belts release. The buckle looks like a normal belt, gives the illusion that it is held with a closing pin.Best part is that there are no holes to wear out! And, since there aren't any holes & no closing pin to push through, you don't ever fold the belt over on itself... So these belts really don't wear out.I bought a belt like this randomly years ago, and it quickly became my go-to belt, then it became the only belt I ever use. Still works great, still looks great, doesn't appear to have any wear on it.So now, I have purchased three more that are listed here on Amazon. I wanted to make sure I have a brown one, and a black one, I keep my original one in my travel luggage so I always have one handy, I've given one to my brother as one of those 'must haves' gifts. I can tell you that these belts listed here are excellent quality, the racheting mechanism works great. And, the sizing process is super easy with very clear instructions.I dont often leave reviews, but I had to for this. Definitely, you should buy a couple of these.

Works fine.

I've owned a few of these ratcheting belts - if you haven't tried this, you should. It's a really nice upgrade over traditional belts, and they last a lot longer than traditional belts because the leather doesn't get all creased up. There are cheaper brands out there, but I feel this one offers a nice mix of a high quality buckle, an easy to use mechanism, and a nice looking belt. Purchased a black and brown one, and they both look great.

Wore 5/7 days a week for over a year. It eventually tore/broke apart near the buckle (not in the buckle itself, oddly). It had enough length left I could trim it and still fit, but it didn't stay attached to the buckle long after that as the leather was too worn.The clicking mechanism held up fine and it was great that I could adjust it even more close than I could with a standard hole-buckle belt.Would buy again.

I've been wearing the belt/buckle for several months. It still looks great and functions perfectly. I have no complaints. I appreciate it's understated design. It doesn't really look like a ratcheting buckle & that's a good thing.

The Chaoren adjustable belt is a favorite of mine! Looks great quality, fits well, and is easier to adjust than others I’ve had. I wholeheartedly recommend the Chaoren belt to my friends!

A good belt that lasted me 2 years and 4 months of frequent wear. The mechanism is great and I like the colors of this model. The rivets loosened and the buckle started to rattle after about 2 years, but I got plenty of life out of it. Happy to get another and continue its legacy!

Great looking belt, and is super nice how you can cut it to the right length. It also is nice how they but the belt sizes on the belt for when you go to cut it.
