DickiesMen's No-Scratch Leather Mechanic Belt

I am really glad I bought this belt! It's perfect. It does everything it was designed to do. There's no exposed metal, you can tell there's a metal plate sewn into the leather which includes the metal pin that sticks out toward you instead of having a traditional buckle. It kinda feels backwards at first putting it on, because instead of having the extra length of belt go over the belt into a loop after buckling, this one you slide the extra belt under through a loop and then notch it, if that makes sense. If not, you'll see what I mean when you get the belt, and either way it's not a bad thing, it just feels different at first.The best part to me is the fact that this belt will NOT set off metal detectors, as I have to pass through one every day at work. It's the only real reason I bought this belt so I am very pleased to confirm that it doesn't set them off.A huge added bonus is that this belt is probably the most comfortable belt I've ever owned, due to it's design of not having a metal buckle right at your waist. I have to bend down and over a lot at work, and sometimes which a buckled belt it could pinch or otherwise cause discomfort; not so at all with this belt, it completely eliminates any of that.The sizing is great too. I am a 33 waist, which means I usually have to find 34 pants/shorts and wear a belt. For the record I got the Medium 34-36 size, and it turned out perfect for me. There are seven notches in the belt, and I am right at the fourth/middle one.Lastly, the price was what? $12? And the brand is Dickies, a terrific brand which is known for work attire so I know it will last a long time. Perfect!UPDATE: I ended up coming back and buying a Small size of this belt as well. I must have lost a bit of weight, because I started needing the 5th hole and sometimes the 6th on the medium. The problem with that is, it creates a lot of extra belt and having that became a bit uncomfortable, so I figured the Small would be more my size. First, I will mentioned I paid $17 this time as I guess the price fluctuates, but still well worth it in my opinion. When I got it, it looked like it would be too small, but if you line the belts up side-by-side, the holes do match up to where what was the 6th hole on the Medium is only the 2nd on the small, meaning there's very little "extra" belt to have to tuck in, so whether I go with that hole or a little looser on the 1st hole, either way is more comfortable. I've added some pictures. The Small is 40" long, the Medium is 44".

I love this belt! I bought it hoping to eliminate getting my stomach pinched by a belt buckle (OK, confession time: I do have a bit of a muffin top. If you're skinny, you probably don't get pinched.) It accomplished that nicely. It's also sturdy and looks really nice. I mostly wear it with jeans or cargo pants, but I've worn it with slacks and it didn't look at all out of place.It takes a bit of practice to get it fastened, since you can't pull the end like with a traditional belt. Now that I've worn it for a few months, though, it's easy to fasten and holds very securely.

Buy this if you have an allergy to the fake metal on regular belts! Haven't had an issue since I bought this belt! it was well worth the money!!! Would buy 100 more if I had to! Highly recommend!

As described, not greatest quality but will last.

Great fit

At a good price, they were delivered promptly and in excellent condition (except for a few nuisance tags, but that's not the seller's fault). And they're real leather! It took a couple of tries to get used to the belt being inside the buckle, but they are a lot better than struggling with a traditional belt (most of which are now made with plastic, probably vinyl) . . . they help to keep my pants and shorts up.

Belt works great, my old school belt hockey was causing irritation on my stomach. Like this one holds good.

This belt looks exactly as pictured and it is a clever design that is easy to use. Sadly, the material is plastic coated or plasticized leather or something because it doesn't feel and wear like real leather. It isn't awful, but it just isn't great. It feels more plasticky than anything.I work on a lot of trucks, especially fire trucks and personal vehicles, both of which are extra important not to risk scratching. This belt does work as advertised and make it safe to use without worrying about scratching any components, especially those with paint.The belt looks decent and works correctly, but it just seems to be cheaply made. Both how it feels in your hand and while wearing it, but also with how the material wears over time. I can already see that it is not holding up nearly as long as a regular leather belt.
