Cracking price on one of the best quality men’s dress belts out there. RRP $150 each and not often discounted at all let alone by 43%

Belt is available in black and chestnut (very dark brown). Don’t forget to buy a size up from whatever size your waist is.

Edit: picture of belt condition after I’ve worn mine for about 7 months Mon-Fri. Flash makes it look more beaten up than it really is, if you wear at the same notch it still looks great. There’s creasing at the end, and a bit of the applied finish has come off where the belt normally meets the leather. The same yearling leather on my comfort craftsmans this ain’t. But it’s definitely holding up a lot better than standard Myer /DJs fare over the same timeframe for me. Durability is probably the price to be paid for this thin dress style leather.

            @bradenpd: He's got a point. Sounds wanky, but find a local cobbler and they'll make you a proper belt if they know anything about leather (they should)

                smooth edges on the leather

                Do you mean the tapered and stitched edges?

                You find that on bonded leather belts like the Uniqlo belt. That is because the belt needs to be held together.

                The belts I shared are full grain leather so it is one piece of leather with no need to stitch it.

      No they weren’t.

    To be fair.. if Prada can charge $600 and men still buy their belts.. I suppose a bit of cowboy for $170 isn't that bad too. Unless you're saying people buying Prada are stupid lol.

      I bought the dress belt in spite of the longhorn logo not because of it :-) Thankfully it’s really understated in person.

      To be fair, I have a $600 Gucci (gifted to me, would never spend that much myself) casual leather belt and it looks as good today as it did 5 years ago. Can’t argue with the quality and durability but certainly paying too much for the brand.

      This RM is starting to get the typical creases at the end of the belt after about 6 months of wear. Probably a function of the much thinner leather used in dress belts. It’s not really noticeable as long as you wear it in the same belt notch all the time, but I know it’s not going to be as durable as the Gucci which is why I bought a replacement on this deal. I’ll probably get 2 odd years out of this as a daily wearer compared to closer to 1 year for the cheaply made stuff from Myer / DJs

    Plenty of full grain leather belts on eBay for $20-35 if you have a quick search

    e.g. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Quality-Genuine-Full-Grain-L…

    They're mostly thicker leather in a wider width (so not a dress belt to go with the pair of Comfort Craftsmans you bought for your first Big 4 grad job) but good quality for any other purpose.

    I've bought a few from various sellers and they are indeed full grain leather that should conceivably last for decades

    I had a belt fitted to a belt buckle passed down to me about 10 years ago from a leather store in Perth CBD.

    Cost about 50 all up and is still going strong and has dealt with me as I yoyo over 5 different loops in that time. I wear it 5 days a week + occasionally weekends.

    Anyone know if this is a full grain leather belt?

    Differences between different leathers:
    https://joojoobs.com/leather-grades/

    Generally only get full grain leather belts after having average experiences with both branded and non-branded non-full grain leather belts.

    I have bought a couple of ones from the Ozbarain deal which go well with Jeans, casul etc. for work/dress pants there are some good sales now and then at DJs etc… this was the one that I liked the most (was about $60 but clearance end of line after a few years to $9 last stuff was in very large sizes) - but quality a lot better than the typical dress belt and like the gun metal grey buckle.
