Mission Belt Men's Leather Ratchet Belt

Comment

I cant recall how I heard about this product, but I know I was following them on social media. I was in the market for a new belt and I was tired of the same old thing. Additionally, I wanted a non-traditional color (blue). I decided to take a chance on a Mission Belt and I have been extremely pleased with the decision. Heres some feedback. 1. I purchased the belt new, via Mission Belts on Amazon. 2. I purchased the belt in a blue with a gun metal buckle. The color is exactly as represented. The belt matches the intended usage perfectly. 3. I havent had a ton of chances to wear the belt, but on the first wear I thought Id never get it off as the ratchet was tight. It has since loosened and makes for an excellent fit. 4. The ratchet buckle is ingenious and it is easy on and easy off. 5. From a style perspective, this belt could easily be work casual (which is my primary usage) or dressy. This is a great belt. On top of the belt, you can support an organization that gives a little of each purchase to a good cause. Ill be buying more as the need arises.

Honestly, I had never heard of a ratcheting belt before I ordered this, so I wasnt quite sure of what to expect. That being said, Ive had my Mission Belt for about a week now and I love it. The leather feels and looks like a great quality leather. The finish of the buckle (gun metal) looks great. My biggest concern was the how the buckle would function, but that quickly went away with my first use. This is in many ways easier than a classic buckle style. This type of buckle wont stretch or scratch the finish of the leather. The belt is true to size. I bought this belt specifically to wear with dress pants, but have liked it so much, it has become my "go to" belt. As of right now, I couldnt be happier with my purchase and will absolutely consider Mission Belt for future needs. Highly recommend!

I purchased this belt in May of 2014, its now February of 2017. I wear this belt daily, I am thin so I wear it will all of my pants for the most part. I trimmed the belt down to size when I got it, so it fits and has always looked very nice. Over the last few months, the leather has started to crack significantly. There are multiple vertical cracks in the leather in several places, though the belt still functions. I am not sure what to expect as far as lifespan for a belt, but I guess I was expecting longer than this. I will likely buy a replacement 35mm belt and keep my buckle, which still functions perfectly.

This belt was great up until the buckle just fell off. This belt only lasted a total of 36 days. One day after I got home from work I decided to change into more comfortable clothes so as Im pushing on the realease and undoing my belt the buckle falls off completely on to the floor. When I picked it up to inspect it more closely I noticed that one of the pins that was holding the buckle on the belt was missing so it must have just fallen off somewhere. At first I thought they were screws but after closer inspection they turned out to be just some cheap looking pin with serrations on it to hold it in place. So much for that because it clearly failed on my belt. Couldnt they have just used a more solid pin that went all the way through from end to end? Sure they couldve but it probably wouldve cost more to do that so they had to cut costs somewhere. Too bad because I really liked the belt. I liked how I could adjust it perfectly to point where it wasnt too tight or too loose it was just right unlike standard belts with the holes. I cannot recommend this belt to anyone unless they can come up with better solution to those crappy pins that theyre using to attach the buckle to the belt. So now I have a great belt that is a total useless piece of garbage. You have been warned.

I have purchased 2 of these belts and the first one fell apart in about a year and the second I have only owned about 7 months and it too fell apart. The rivets fall out of the belt after a few months of regular use and will not hold when pressed back in. For the price of this product I would have though it should last longer then 6 months to a year. I am very disappointed because these are really nice belts but I will be looking else ware for my next one.
