Excellent, full grain, leather belt with all the quality you want but rarely find.After three weeks of daily use as an active shop foreman who gets his hands dirty:No cracks around the buckle mountNo cracks at the bend where the buckle securesNo flared and stretched holeNo rattle buckleNo curled edge at the back from the rear center belt loop on your pantsBecause it’s a good belt you don’t have to cinch it for it to grip and hold.The belt quality I’ve always wanted. Thanks!

This belt is crafted from premium-quality leather, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. The fit is perfect, providing both comfort and reliability for everyday wear. In terms of quality and craftsmanship, this is easily one of the best belts available on the market. Highly recommended for those seeking a timeless and dependable accessory.

I lost some weight and my original EDC belt had become too long for my preference, so I found this one and gave it a shot. It took a little longer to get than originally stated, but it finally arrived and met my needs and expectations 100%! VERY well-made and it appears to be capable of many, many years of everyday service, along with the strain of the weapon that I carry on this belt. I highly recommend this belt to anyone looking for a well-made, long-wearing belt. And, it's American-made, for those who prefer to support the "local" economy.

I enjoy fine leather products and own several high end belts from some of the big-name makers, several makers of carry belts, as well as a number of boutique leather craft shops. I’ve been seeing this Main Street Forge pop up in my Amazon feed for a while and at 29.99 on sale I thought I’d give their everyday belt a try. I received it Friday and have worn it 2 10 hour shifts at work so far. The below are my initial thoughts.It’s thin. It’s lightweight. It’s very flexible. It will collapse on itself and certainly not hold itself up when buckled and held straight. This is a VERY light duty belt and I would not think of using it as a carry belt or for anything of weight. It is telling that the maker doesn’t list the leather weight in the description. For you leather rookies, 1 ounce of leather weight is roughly 1/64” in thickness. This MIGHT be 10 oz leather, which is pretty light/thin in the nice belt world.But, I just needed something for work that I wasn’t worried about messing up. I have a very physical job and am outside in the elements, sweating and getting rained on, greasy and dirty. I do not want to wear any of my more expensive belts in those conditions. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt them, but kind of like running that brand new car through a gas station car wash, know what I mean?It works for that. It seems a decent quality, well-built belt. After only 2 shifts I already have a tiny bit of stretch in the hole I’m using, and I think it will stretch more being so thin, but I expect this belt will last me a couple years and for $30 bucks that’s ok. I will say the black roller buckle impressed me and seems to be of excellent quality, almost out of place on this belt.If you just need a belt to keep your britches up, and nothing else, this will probably work for you for a few years. I don’t see this being a 20 year belt.And please, if you’re belt shopping for a very nice leather belt and considering some of the brands I mentioned above, don’t even bother comparing this one to them. It’s a decent belt, but not a competitor. 2 different ballparks.This is a decent belt that is certainly better than a big box store belt, but nowhere near some of the other big name leathercraft companies. It may be a good first-dive into the real leather world, but just know that it gets a lot better. Expect a 3 star belt and you’ll be pleased. Expect a Hanks or other high quality belt and you’ll be unhappy. If you’ve never had a quality full grain leather belt at all, you’ll love it.My wife loves the free sticker that came with it (which sucks for me because I liked it too lol) and the Main Street forge key chain I ordered separately as well, which I will leave it’s own 5 star review and I will probably use the $5 off coupon they included on another product, perhaps one of their more expensive, thicker offerings.In summary, it’s a decent belt for what it is, but don’t fool yourself into believing it’s a high-end belt.3 YEAR UPDATEI’m writing this on November 28th, 2024 (Thanksgiving Day). I was just going through some of my old reviews looking for one in particular and saw this and thought I’d post an update.I’ve been wearing this belt daily for over 3 years and 4 months now at my heavy industrial job and it’s still going strong. I gotta say, I’m impressed and surprised. Yes, it has stretched some, probably about an inch as I’m on the next hole while still having the save size waist, unfortunately, haha. The edges are somewhat curled in on itself and it’s a whole different shade of brown after sucking up all the Florida sweat and grime from 3 years of work on the railroad. But it still works. I still stand by my claims of this being too light a belt for a carry belt but for a daily work belt, just can’t beat it. The thinness and flexibility are actually a good thing as it makes it more comfortable while bending, climbing, etc, especially as a big guy with a belly that hangs over my belt. I’m still impressed with the buckle, it’s been flawless. Increasing rating from 4 stars to 5. Well done, Main Street Forge.

I don't think I've ever owned a full grain leather belt before.. truthfully, I never bothered to actually seek one out.Previously, I just bought whatever belt that I liked.. not paying any attention to whether they were "genuine leather", "Top grain leather" or "full grain leather" and frankly, I never knew the difference between the differing leathers.But this is the first belt I've bought in many years.. my last belt -- a "genuine leather" Polo (Ralph Lauren) has been my daily belt for over a decade and while it's nicely beat up with a lot of "character" (LOL) it's also held up remarkable well. But I've lost a lot of weight in the last year and after drilling 3 new holes in the belt to match my shrinking waistline, the belt end wraps to my left hip. It was definitely time for a new belt.. actually, I'm gonna need a few new belts as all my other (occasional) belts are now also too big.This time I decided to actually do some research on belts... something I've never done before cause I never thought to do so. In doing so, I discovered the differences in the types of leather & leather production used in making belts. Armed with that new found knowledge, full-grain leather was an obvious choice for me.Looking thru the Amazon belt selection and reading lots of reviews I was kinda shocked to discover how many belts listed as "full grain" on Amazon are actually NOT full grain at all. There are a lot of pissed off people who've had to return belts because of this. I didn't want to go thru that.Fortunately, I found this belt.. WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY!?! LOL (who knew such things existed anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)I assume, distributed by Main Street Forge while made by a family owned company named Relentless Brands.The belt is beautiful and .... THICK. It has weight & heft that I was looking for. Easily one of the nicest belts I've ever owned. I expect to get a couple decades wear, at least, out of this belt.And from now on.... all my belt purchases will be full grain leather!

Strong high quality leather and buckle. Will not let you down
