Marino Men’s Genuine Leather Ratchet Dress Belt With Automatic Buckle, Enclosed in an Elegant Gift Box

I ordered a bunch of stuff for a family reunion. It all showed up around the same time. I recognized everything I ordered except this unique exotic box. As I carefully opened it, I was impressed at every step to get down to the real deal. When I lifted the final lid, and saw the belt, coiled tightly, and the buckle, separately presented, I knew this was no ordinary belt.This belt is by far the best belt I've ever owned. I am large (okay, I'm fat), and being able to adjust the length right down to the inch, over a range of more than a foot, makes choosing the waist size easy.I can't attest to it's durability until I've worn it for a few years, but I predict is will outdo my expectations. It is a quality product.And the look? Classy. Simple buckle front that says "I don't really need an emblem or symbol to tell you I'm here". And the clasp mechanism is solid and sure, but easy to unlatch when you really need to go!The comparable Amazon belt offers were attractive too, and only slightly more expensive. But the Marino belt is a much better offer. The belt and buckle are made of top notch materials.I saved the box it came packaged in, expecting to coil the belt up and break the buckle down to return them to their original presentation look after every "party". No way. I'm wearing this belt every day, and not just on special occasions.Buy the belt - You will not be disappointed!

This particular purchase was one of Mio Marino's ratcheting men's belts, it was a gift for a friend. The reason I am giving him this gift is because I love the one I bought for myself so much I wanted to share the product with him. I never had any interest in belts till I owned one of these, but I am seriously thinking of collecting more of their belts so I have options.PROS:Amazing price: I have paid this much for belts at discount stores like ROSS or Marshall'sAmazing quality: These are full leather belts, the leather appears to be of good quality, I have had my first one for a year now and it shows no signs of wear and tear, not even on the finish of the buckle. I wear it 5-6 days a week.Amazing presentation: This would make an amazing gift for any man who wears conventional belts because it will stand out from the rest of his collection. The packaging is beautiful both inside and out, if you did not know better you would think this were a boutique product.Amazing features: The ratcheting system is so far superior to the standard hole belt, it has essentially infinite adjustment, they make two sizes that will cover men from a 28" waist all the way up to a 54" wast an everything in between with exact comfortable fit, not too loose or too tight, because the increments are maybe 0.25". Also not only do they give you a belt, it comes with this little utility piece that slides over the belt and had clips on it to hang keys or in my case a digital pocket watch, this way its always available and I cannot loose it out of my pocket.Incredible selection: The colors and styles are so varied, and they are tasteful, I have to say I like the majority of their designs.Amazing customer service: This company seems very customer oriented and wants to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase.CONS: NONE that I can find.

I wanted to wait a few weeks before writing a review for this belt. The reason is most belts I have owned have shown signs of wear within a week or two. This belt still looks new and shows no signs of fatigue.The packaging is very professional. A box with i nice lining inside features the belt quite well. The belt is very long and must be cut to size. I would suggest cutting it a little longer than whatever size you are. You can always cut it shorter if needed. Did you cut it too short? Don't worry, they will replace the belt if that happens.The material is a high quality leather and this belt is very well made. The buckle is stylish and elegant. The ratcheting system is accurate and holds quite well. I would have to say this is the best quality belt I have ever owned. I wear it every day. The first time I wore it I could not figure out how to release the ratchet which I did figure it out eventually.The main purpose of this belt is concealed carry. It is common with my other belts that one hole is too loose and the next is too tight when having an IWB holster installed. The ratchet system will allow me to fine tune the belt to best fit weather I am carrying my pistol or not. This belt has swayed my decision to change to this belt system entirely.Update: More than a year and a half and I still use this belt almost every day. IT is still holding shape and the outside shows no signs of wear and still looks new. The buckle has some scratches on the finish but that is to be expected with this much use. The only issue I have is the belt leather is cracking on the inside where the adjustment teeth are. Otherwise this is still the best belt I have ever owned?I am curious as to how much a replacement belt (no buckle) would be.

I love the buckle and the system. After 5 years of not daily use the leather became cracked everywhere.
