Timberland PRO Males’s 38mm Boot Leather-based Belt

Good belt
Love the belt, little squeaky at first. Well made, good colors. Adjusts easily

Wrong Sizes
I orderd a 52, was sent a ’58’ as read on the tag (Probably actually around 70 inches but the tag said 58). I got a replacement that read as 52 on the tag. My previous belt was a 52 I measured it for size reference. The second belt I received was ’60’ inches even though the tag reads 52. Im not gonna keep returning it. Im just gonna give the big belt away to someone else. I feel like if you order this belt you need to go down about 8-10 inches from your normal size to get the right size because they clearly don’t follow the size equals inches norm for belt sizes. I dont know if I wanna try to order a 3rd time to attempt to get a belt that might fit.Im giving this a good rating so hopefully people see it before ordering. If it was a bad rating, i doutt anyone would see it. The build quality and look feel nice.

Light, strong, and surprisingly comfortable
This is a great belt – wish I invested in one like this sooner.I’ll be honest, in all of my time on jobsites, I never invested in a good work belt. It was “George” for me, which FWIW are a great value and much better than you might expect, but they do pretty easily delam with lots of heat, sweat, and motion and the buckles/belt material will wear out faster if you make it hold more than your pants.I decided it was time – I needed something that can support a drill and my Leatherman Super Tool 300, and won’t have me dying sweating it out in the 100F summers when post-rain-shower humdidity gets to 100% (which understand, is all of the percents there are!) Nunna that. Same reason I went for a 38mm width when my pants would fit 40mm.I always just figured the cheap storebought belts last a few months on average for single digit dollars. Mind you, not well! I just learned to put up with it until I remembered to pick a new one or got bothered enough to make a stop for it. The fit gradually goes and even if you punch and burn a new hole, it’s the material itself that has become stretchy, making anything attached to it bounce obnoxiously.This belt was closer to 30 dollars at the time of this review. So if it lasts even 4-5 times longer with better performance, it’ll be a better value than those cheap belts. Essentially, if it makes it a couple years, it’s worth it and an affordable rugged belt that doesn’t compromise comfort.I suspect it will, though. It feels and appears to be full grain leather. It’s light, flexible, and supple. But also very taught, which along with the double-sided stitching for the generous strip holding the buckle on lets me know it’s really for work-use. Yet I can barely tell I’m wearing it.Oh, and on the sizing thing: I’m pretty much a dead-on 30 so I bought two sizes up as was mentioned in a few reviews here. One size up and Timberland suggested would have been plenty. To fit me at size 30, a size 34 puts the buckle on the second ‘smallest-size’ hole. I wind up with 3 holes to expand into if I feel like gaining a few dozen pounds, I guess. Fortunately it’s not TOO much overhang. But these belts also maybe aren’t all THAT undersized, or perhaps its a consistency thing and the length varies too much from belt to belt so that some are too short. Can only say my 34 actually seems like it would *just* fit an actual size 34 and I probably only needed a 32.

Leather grade?
I’ve been using this belt lightly 3-4 times a week. The belt looks nice! The bad stuff: the buckle squeaks and the leather at the notch holes is weak and not durable. Based on other belts I don’t see this laying more than 6 months. Hopefully newer iterations will fortify the notch holes.
