KORE Men’s Top-Grain Leather Track Belts | “Express” Alloy Buckle

So, I got these based off a recommendation by Ashley Weston (shameless plug, but she knows her stuff.) After researching and comparing other belts, Thank goodness I followed her advice and picked up these belts.The belts come with a nice carry bag for when your travelling, which is a nice touch.The belt itself is really good quality leather with just the right amount of thickness and stiffness. The end piece doesn't lays flat when wearing the belt. The end piece on other belts i own tend to stick out, which looks tacky.The buckle really clamps down on the belt once trimmed. To get a nice straight edge I recommend using a ruler and a razor box cutter. I used sharp scissors, but the leather curled (which is normal) causing an uneven edge. This caused a separation between the top and bottom leather. Not a big deal with a straight razor cut leather trim.I got a black and light tan color with the "express" buckle. As mentioned based off Stylist Ashley Weston's recommendation for its classic look. I will be ordering a darker brown in the near future to match another pair of shoes and sport coat.Adjusting the belt is really simple with the small, nearly invisible adjustment lever on the bottom edge of the buckle.With these you get the best of everything. Quality, fit, comfort, and classic style. No holes or leather warp that lessen your look or make it look like you don't care (or can't afford a new belt). Do yourself a favor and get these. You will have a clean look that draws complements and the right kind of attention.

The stiff leather is thick and still looks practically the same as when I purchased this belt 6 months ago. I thought it an expensive purchase but it has been worth it. I have worn it everyday since I received it and am amazed it has held up so well. I first received a gift of a similar but much cheaper "as seen on TV" ratchet type belt a few years ago and really liked it. The problem is the quality of the leather. It cracked/split and looked really bad after this same length of time I've owned the Kore belt. I received a second replacement "TV" version as a gift but the quality was this time very poor. It constantly slipped so I just used that belt and the older buckle. Poor quality control I guess. Anyway, I think it's nice to read a review after someone has experienced a product for sometime. I would definitely recommend this Kore brand to anyone that likes this kind of belt.

I originally backed KORE as a kickstarter and it has been one of my best purchases. I refuse to wear anything other than "ratchet" belts (where the belt is tightened across a ratchet grid rather than holes, allowing for custom fit) and KORE has honestly perfected it.I have tried (for economics) to purchase cheaper alternatives, but i've always been disappointed. They buckle mechanism is never as good and they are much more annoying to set-up and adjust. I highly recommend this belt and firmly believe its worth the extra cost.

When you first where it, you could be in trouble if you really have to pee. (Who knows you have to read the instructions to wear a belt?)The buckle attachment to the leather is worst in class: Saw-tooth design mangles the leather. The attachment to the leather lasts for too short a time before the leather shreds and one must re-cut and re-attach.

Can't say enough positive things about this belt. Although it is a bit pricey (I'm not the type to usually spend $50 on a belt), its well worth the investment. The leather is premium quality and fairly thick, I've been wearing it daily for a month now and the durability is great -- not a single crease (by now the belt hole would be starting to wear on most of my prior belts). The ratchet mechanism has been working flawlessly. I never would have guessed how much of a difference in daily comfort I could get by being able to easily adjust my belt when going from sitting down to standing up, etc, but now that I appreciate it I'll never go back. Bought another one to give as a gift.

Very comfortable. Great to be able to "fine tune" the belt size while wearing it. The 1/4 inch increments mean a very different "fit" for the belt which actually takes a little getting used to since one's expectation is that a belt will either be too tight or too loose. After experiencing the ratchet belt, will never go back to the other. Good leather, well made. Would highly recommend.

I have bought a few of these belts and they are the best around. I did have a slight issue with the most recent order of the belt splitting. I email Kore directly, received a response back within hours and replacement at zero cost in 2 days.This is a company that stands behind its products and cares about the quality.I’ve tried a few of the competitive belts and theses are the best hands down.
