Allen EdmondsMen's Wide Basic

Very nice, sturdy belt. I'm not sure how the stitching will hold up over time. Also the decorative bit will be covered.Returned due to it being longer than advertised. A belt size is supposed to be measured to the center of the holes, which are supposed to be at least 2" in either direction from there. This was larger than that. Consider ordering your actual waist size instead of the typical 2" larger for a belt size.

Amazing belt that is the perfect compliment to any Allen Edmonds Black leather shoes. Really great leather that has been holding up well, and it's got a great width too it that isn't too thin. This also works really well in casual settings as well. One thing I would mention is the belt seems to go by your "vanity" sizing rather than your dress pant/suit sizing, meaning you shouldn't size up from your true pant size. If you don't know your true waist size, then buy a size up from what you would wear in chinos/jeans

My recent experience with belts is that none last very long because they are made with cheap materials, such as vinyls and split cowhide that is then glued back together. This was a more expensive belt, and like previous ones I’ve bought, claims to be higher quality. As I said in the title, so far so good, but time will tell.

It’s pricey; but worth every penny.

I have this in both black and almond. Absolutely great quality from calfskin (it's an AE belt, expect nothing less!), and very sturdy rather than cheaply made. I'm not worried at all about this tearing after some time.

Purchased to match some dark chili ae shoes. Color is great, but the belt wears quickly. I have a number of full grain belts purchased at half the price that hold up better and look just as good.

This belt is top notch in quality and construction. Just what you expect from Alan Edmonds. However, beware that if you are purchasing this belt to match an older pair of "chili" shoes you will be disappointed. They do not match. It seems that the company is now manufacturing items with a new and darker color and calling it "chili". In reality, the new color is actually know as "dark chili" but they simply call it chili. Seems to me that if you are going to promote your shoes as a lifetime product you should expect some customers will take that seriously and own resoled shoes for 20+ years. You should differentiate your colors appropriately! Also beware that if you choose your waist size when ordering you will receive a belt that is the wrong size! I chose waist size because the belt size is listed below the waist size and is greyed out. It led me to believe they were telling me a 40" waist needs a 42" belt. Yes, I know that. But after choosing a 40” waist they sent a 40" belt. Makes no sense to have both sizes listed. They are not interchangeable. Whoever is shipping the belts does not understand! You can select the actual size you want despite the fact that it is greyed out!

I ordered this belt and two weeks later it arrived - wrong size. This is because the sizing link on their site takes you to shoes only - not belts. If you have a 32 inch waist (me), do not order the "32 inch waist" belt! You need the "34 inch waist" belt. I tried to exchange it and again was taken to the shoe sizing chart (!!!) and when I clicked on 34 inch belt black was told it was out of stock!! Complete waist/waste of my time. I will not buy from Allen Edmonds again.

The quality of the materials used in the construction of this belt is outstanding. The genuine leather is not only durable but also exudes a sense of luxury. The attention to detail in the stitching and finishing is a testament to Allen Edmonds' commitment to excellence. It's a belt that not only looks great but also feels substantial and reliable.The width of the belt is perfectly balanced. The wide design adds a touch of sophistication to my outfits without being overly flashy. It's versatile enough to complement both dressier ensembles and more casual looks, making it a go-to accessory in my wardrobe.The buckle design is both stylish and functional. The brushed metal finish adds a modern touch, and the secure fastening mechanism ensures that the belt stays in place throughout the day. It's clear that the design is well-thought-out, providing both aesthetic appeal and practicality.The versatility of the Wide Basic Belt is one of its standout features. Whether paired with dress pants, jeans, or chinos, this belt effortlessly ties together my outfits. It's a wardrobe staple that adds a polished finishing touch to any look.Durability is another key aspect that sets Allen Edmonds apart, and this belt is no exception. The quality craftsmanship ensures that it will withstand daily wear and maintain its shape and appearance over time. It's a long-term investment that I am confident will stand up to the test of time.

This is a replacement for the same belt I purchased over five years ago. The old one was still serviceable but my waist is two inches smaller that it was then. I was obviously happy with the previous one and I am equally happy with the new one. Glad to see that Allen Edmonds has not compromised their quality.

Seems to be good quality, always better to buy on sale.

I was not disappointed with the quality of AE. The leathery feel and look are exactly what was required for my suits.

Replacing the same belt from 10 years ago. I was excited to find this. Fits perfectly.
