Kenneth Cole REACTION Men's Reversible Plaque Buckle Belt

Comment

The photo is misleading. I was looking for a free size, sliding belt that has a locking mechanism. Unfortunately this one is a regular belt with holes. The photo or the description does not tell you that. Also, the length is smaller than I would have expected. I ordered the 34" one and though the belt fits me, there is hardly any free length available after I buckle it up. It is not a bad purchase, the same belt was available for twice the cost in the retail store. However its not what I wanted.

Look, I wanted to give this 5 stars, I really did. The belt looks GREAT. It was quickly my favorite belt to wear, at least until it split apart. Like the other reviewers have mentioned, the belt splits apart after 1-3 months of usage. For me it took 3 months. But some of these reviewers have belts that split apart in less than a month. The belt itself felt sturdy and really doesnt look or feel cheap. So I was shocked when I noticed it was splitting apart. Very disappointed in Kenneth Cole, usually theyre known for top quality products.

I purchased this belt in 2017 to replace another Kenneth Cole belt, but it turned out to be a poor choice. I had hoped the holed end of the belt would have gone behind the buckle and the belt like the other KC belt I have, but not this one. Also, the 1.5 inch belt width is too wide for most of the belt loops on the dress pants I wear. However, what really drove me to give this belt 2/5 stars (and Im being generous) was that one side of the belt (the black leather side) has started to split apart from the rest of the belt. Im not sure if the leather bonding material or the type of leather they used is to blame--the black leather seems to be softerand more flexible and "stretchier" than the brown leather side. This means that you cant let the belt hang down straight or lie flat because that will cause the black leather layer to warp and come apart from the rest of the belt. Going to look for a replacement leather belt (no buckle) to replace the defective piece of "leather" that came with this belt.

If you need a belt for 2 maybe 3 occasions this is a great belt, received many compliments when it was wearable. After wearing the belt 4-5 times it split from where the holes begin to where they end much like other reviewers. Poor build quality and unable to return a defective product earns this belt 1 whole star.

WHEN THIS BELT SPLIT APART AT THE TOP IN THE BACK DUE TO THE RUBBING OF THE BELT LOOP DURING NORMAL WEARING, THE CHEAP MATERIALS USED IN ITS COMPOSITION BECAME EXPOSED. NO LEATHER IS TO BE SEEN UNLESS ITS SHREDDED, PROCESSED AND REBONDED WITH GLUE...IM MORE INCLINED TO SAY THIS BELT IS 100 PERCENT SYNTHETIC--AND A VERY POOR REPRESENTATION OF THAT EVEN NOBLE MATERIAL
