Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thanks for the kind words, Carl!
I once towed my friend's motorcycle with my handmade Mexican belt. It's super thick, and I use it for work. Like you said, I like a dressed up work belt.
I’m a big fan of Hanks leather belts & wallets. American made, 100 year warranty.
I'm going to be swapping from a Kore Essentials leather belt to a Hanks belt soon.
Hanks is my favorite brand for leather goods. I would buy anything they make.
@@andrewsalazar98 So far I’ve got two belts, a wallet and a keychain. Pricy but definitely in the buy it for life category.
Hanks belts are very substantial and very well made.
Love my hanks belt!
Carl, that shirt looks really nice
My Tanner Goods belt continues to be one of my favorite accessory purchases that I’ve ever made. just keeps getting better
I own both the Mountain Belt and the Navy Sedgwick belt with the double prong copper buckle from Pigeon Tree Crafting. The pigeon tree belt has an amazing level of finishing that makes you want to hang it on display instead of wear it. It’s definitely one of the few things I own that can my big smooth brain smile.
Alright fine Carl that intro got me, i laughed out loud at the deadpan
Hey Michel, funny seeing you here.
@@hernandezz4912 hey small world!!
Hahaha at least someone besides me thought it was funny. Hope you’re well man!
@@CarlMurawski doing great! Hope you are too!
I'm certainly open to other brands, but after wearing Carhartt and Duluth belts for years, I finally got myself a 1.75" walnut belt from Nick's and I'll never go back....I absolutely love this thing. My second best is my Galco dress gun belt...great product as well. Great video Carl 👍
I love a good thich leather belt. The safety it assures, keeping everything where it should be. I love the rugged feel and design of the craft & lore and hollows.
I've got 3 belts from Pigeon tree crafting and as someone who has owned many craftmans belts I can say that while they all use top quality leather and most have good features like teardrop holes only the pigeon tree belts have the truly unbeatable quick release system. It has never in 6 years come undone by accident and makes using one of these thick leather belts so much more liveable.
Great recommendation as always
I have a Craft and Lore Mountain Belt, and it is a tank of a belt. It very thick, and will take a bit of breaking in. But I love it, it is my go to belt for any outdoor activity.
Own a few of these. Love em. Used for dress and farm work
HANKS! I love my Hanks and I’m still running a Saddleback Leather black belt from forever ago
Chadwick belts! He used to offer belts made to your exact measurements, seems to be currently taking a break on custom belts at the moment but he still has default sizing ones available! He used to have a for life belt available too, would be worth checking out if when he gets back up and running full time!
Great roundup. I wish I could get the aesthetic of some of these with the functionality of the Anson ratchet. Then I'd be golden, that adjustment increment is money!
Just ordered the relic belt that just came out. Can’t wait till it comes.
Just went with the Hollow’s Leather Rail belt in natural chromexcel, thanks for the reviews keep em up.
Very nice!
I would definitely love to see a Pigeon Tree Crafting belt review from you!
I recently purchased a rough out belt with nice solid brass buckle from texas saddlery. Impressive quality and value, and their customer service was great and exchanged it for a different size. I may get another for my son.
I too was searching for the perfect leather belt. I had a hard time justifying the price for a natural CXL belt from Pigeon Tree, but I’m extremely happy with my 3 belts from a brand called Thirteen50 Leather; made in USA, lifetime guarantee, solid brass hardware + chicago screws, and very thick 12 - 14 oz leather all sourced from USA tanneries, all of that for $53 (currently $43). My personal favorite is the Big Hoss belt which uses Old World Harness leather from Hermann Oak Tannery here in the US, it’s the perfect leather for a hard wearing belt.
Hanks belts. I have a few of them for the entire family and they have been worth every penny.
Great video Carl. Got my veg tanned full grain leather belt from MandW leather for about $45. It’s four months in and it holding up great! Also many great options on Etsy, some even use Hermann Oak leather and sell for about $35.
I've had my Mercy Supply (now Sidnaw Company) belt for 6 years and it only gets better the longer I wear it. Had to replace it this year as I'd lost enough weight that it was time to go down to a smaller belt. The new one is the exact same quality as my last and I'm looking forward to putting some hard miles on this thing. Can't recommend this company enough.
Hanks Belts. I'm a recent convert (picked up their 1.5" Canyon Belt) and will definitely be buying more from them in the future.
LOL at the intro! And yay! I’ve been researching belts and trying to decide what I want my next one to be. I’d like a dark brown belt with a brass buckle so this is really helpful. Thank you, Carl!
Add rose anvil to your list! Also, I got the Arlington belt from Ledbury (a brand I found from you and was proud to support as a Virginian) and have been very happy with it. It is definitely a dress belt though, but very comfortable.
Filson makes one that I have my eye on you should check that out
My wife bought me a Hanks belt about a decade ago. I carry a pistol on the regular. So far so good!
Love craft and lore. Hacks belts rocks also.
Brave Star raw leather belt has treated me well. Added a little oil to start the darkening process and it has become very attractive with heavy use outside. Going on three years now.
I have a fjalraven belt don't remember when I got it but two years later a new buckle and 5 coats of leather balm it looks amazing
Whiskey and Leather Works. I have a couple of them and love it
I love belts, I know I'm just one voice in the ocean that is the internet, but I would love more belt videos. :)
Carmine Jack Leather in oak bark leather is great, too. I got one in natural leather with the quick release buckle and it is great - so great that I ordered another in black.
Just got a belt from Ewing Dry Goods and man it’s the nicest I’ve ever seen 🙌🏼
I have a custom made by a smaller leather worker gun belt made from 2 layers of 1/8” thick leather glued and sewn together. When I first put this belt on I was wowed! Today if I’m not wearing it I wear a 5mm thick belt of two layers of Red Wing Briar Oil Slick Leather. It’s pretty but not as solid feeling as the thicker gun belt which is my number one. I’m looking now at ordering a new belt from Mean Gene. Thanks for the video and giving out the makers names.
A simple leather belt company makes great belts. I’ve had 2 for years one for work and one for home. They both look great and take a beating!
Right on!
Love my hanks belt! Got the edc and would never look back
Samurai Curve Belt is definitely worth to check out, Carl!
I'll take a look!
I have had great usage from my Alien Gear leather gun belt it is extremely tough and well finished
Love it man...
I Appreciate it!
Thanks for your hard work and sharing
I bought a craft and lore mountain belt probably around 2015ish. Although it is built incredibly well, it stained every pair of pants I put it on. From the looks of yours it looks like they stopped staining the inside. I had to go with a cheaper Hanks belt but I’ll definitely look into some of these other belts shown here.
I own a Hollows leather belt as well and love it
There’s a leather shop in Frankenmuth, Michigan that I visit every couple years and always pickup a new belt. They have EVERY variety imaginable but I usually gravitate to the artisanal, more beefy thick rugged style. One that won’t wither under the weight of a full frame GLOCK for instance. But this place is my Go-To for all leather goods.
Stock & Barrel belts are the best I’ve ever owned, hands down!
I know I'm three year's late, but happy you mention Nick's Belts. They are awesome still rockin mine. Also check out there new Steel Core Gun Belt, I'm still waiting for mine though.
Thank you!
You bet!
something i’ve noticed in this video is that stitching is the preferred method for the keeper and to hold the buckle. Now stitching is still one of the strongest ways to hold leather together, but I like a more mechanical fastener. I recently made a work belt for my self using natural veg in 8-9 oz, and for the keeper, I held it in with two copper burr rivets. It made the keeper tighter and now it cant be lost, but at the realistic draw back it is difficult to replace if it wears out, and it is fixed so if you’re not a fan, there’s no removing it. The other thing I decided to try out was two Chicago screws to hold my buckle in, and honestly i prefer them over line 24 snaps or stitching any day.
When I wore a Saddle Back Tow belts, the first thing to wear out was the buckle. It got all bent up when I carried some heavy steel from point A to B, and because of the stitched in construction I was left with a $100 belt that just became a shelf ornament. That was a few years ago now, but it has certainly changed the way I look at leather goods, and how i make them in my own hobby setting.
At the end of the day, those are some gorgeous belts, and they have the pride of the maker sewn right into them.
Great video, was looking for a video that talked about good quality belts that would last. Thanks Bro
I use a crossbreed belt. It's double thick, a beast,, and looks great.
My favorite more rugged belt is just a repro of an ww1 german brown koppel belt. It’s somewhat clean and rugged to the same time. And you can choose between a lot of different Koppelschloss Belt buckles.
It’s also pretty inexpensive, so maybe good for a try
Indeed there are very good belts out there you can buy for money. In my opinion, belts are best when made by yourself.
Yeah I would recommend Hanks belts, I did a review on them after I bought one after doing a bunch of research into the best belts
Just like my leather wallet, it took me almost 10 attempts till I found the right one. (Red wing). Same with my belt, 6 times till I got the one I've had for 13 years (Red wing). Great review Carl.
Pigeon tree is one my favorite great review 👍🏻
Carl, my Nick's belt is the king of belts. I love it. FYI - we were chatting on Instagram about CT BBQ places. Pig Rig in Wallingford is my #1, Chesters in Groton (used to have another location in Clinton) is my #2. Meats are almost tied between the two, but Pig Rig is top tier, while Chesters has better sides all around - all in my opinion, of course.
I have been using the occidental leather 1 1/2” belt for about ten years and while it has held up and matches my tool belt, I would not recommend it. They use a red dye that, when I sweat a lot in the summer, has stained my pants. I am thinking of replacing it with the nick’s belt. I have two pair of their boots and love them.
Just bought two belts from Hanks belts. Got the legend and a Marshall. Funny you made this video because I just got them this past week. They seem sturdy at around that mid affordable price range. Hope I made a good decision
Deltec double leather bull belt. Among others from them. Built for carry. Looks durability.
I like the thinner belts with my denim
Another vote for Hanks. I have a belt of theirs and wallet. A+++. Looking forward to more belts
Interested in a review on Redwing belts
I just ordered "the gunner" from Hanks Belts, kinda excited as it's on its way to me
How is it?
I like the colonel, saddleback and Koch.
My main go-to belts have been w.kleinberg for daily casual wear and thirteen50 for when I need to throw on a beater belt
I have a Martin Dingman alligator dress belt that is quite nice and also recently bought a Rancourt belt in natural cxl to match a pair of their shoes and it’s very good quality
Man, ya keep making me wanna buy stuff. I suggest you check out Hanks as well. I have a Pigeon Tree on order and am excited to get it.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Thanks!!
I just ordered the black tea core leather belt from brave star can't wait to break it in. 😁
Ya got me me with the nicks belt and duck canvas pants
I'm a leatherworker myself and have made quite a few belts but still bought one from Carmine Jack. They use Baker's leather which is the best belt leather available - seriously cannot think of anything better. I've been wearing mine daily for four months and it has aged beautifully; notably the leather is crazy thick and it has not stretched at all. And Carmine Jack is the official Baker's leather distributor in the US so nobody beats their pricing.
Thanks to your comment, I bought their belt. Absolutely wonderful product, so thanks.
What's your thoughts on Hank's belts?
Also is it better to buy dual leather belt stitched together or a single grain belt?
Ashland Leather also makes a really nice belt with the teardrop holes.
Ashland leather belts bay bay!!! Their shell belts are amazing!!!
I get my belts from the local amish leather shop, such great quality and dirt cheap
I Use a Justin belt. I can change the buckle & loop, also it's stout so it won't deform and will outlast all those for a fraction the cost
Actually I have been thinking of the micro-adjust belt from rose anvil, they are more of a functional belt for a specific task though, but it definitely on my 2021 list together with their leather harnesses
I ordered a natural khaki belt form Moose Leather, should get it next week.
Timberland PRO 42mm double prong leather belt. Excellent quality that stays put, resists weight, and is fairly priced at $30. I have a habit of resting heavy objects on my belt buckle as I carry them, and am often afraid of this damaging the belt. But not with the Timberland.
I like belts from RM Williams (the Australian boot maker), especially their one piece full grain leather belts. Tough but stylish, I've used a black one on dress pants in VIP meetings and a brown pair works well with jeans or moleskin.
Damn, I hadn't even considered them!
I’m amazed Carl has never featured moleskins ! I swear by Rodd&Gunn moleskins and they would compliment the hemp shirt he is wearing , would be like wearing PJs out in public .
Main Street Forge is a small company that has affordable but thick belts that us growing and I recommend them since it's made in the USA.
Corter Leather makes a really nice and thick veg tan belt for like $50. It’s pretty simple but has brass hardware and Chicago screws. Really great budget option for someone looking for veg tan without spending big $$.
Excellent recommendation!
Yoder Leather, Amish made here in the USA, uses English bridle leather as well as other exotic leathers.
Awesome Carl just the review i needed...what do you think about hanks belts, tanner goods, huckberry?
Hanks- Montana Double Bison belt it’s stylish and can perform any job!
Hi you should look into bullhide belts. They have the thickest leather I have ever seen. I have been wearing the same 2 for about 6 years, 1 for work and 1 for casual
Well late to this video lol....My favorite belt is the Filson double prong. It has a D ring on the side for a carbiner clip on your keys. My only negative of this belt are the sizes run very small.
I have 3 Hanks belts and they are superb but their buckles are well made in China. MACK BELTS make their own buckles on-site with American machines and are the best belts I have found! They could use your teardrop or oval hole comment to make their buckles lay flatter though.
I must agree, wherever you live there will be a local craftsman who can make you a quality belt. Both my belts are made by Chadwick Handmade Belts. It's one bloke who hand makes them. He lives in the same county as me so it was a no brainer. I was alerted to him by a TH-cam video a couple of years ago by The Devon Reviewer who reviewed one of his belts.
Great review. My current favorite belts are from Beggars Pouch in Jackson NH, and Wolverine. Buy a quality belt and they last forever.
Thoughts on Buffalo head leather, have had mine for 3.5+years and love that thing
Try the Bison Denim belts.
They’re really good belts and last a lifetime.
I like brennemans tooled leather belts for everyday off work or dressed up holiday wear, and for work I just made my own belt from some 10oz veg tanned leather and an old solid brass buckle I had laying around .
The brennemans belts are more of a western wear kind of thing and only around $40, ( I get 'em at the local feed / farm supply store ) I love 'em but I don't think they're what you're after though.
Mass produced, machine tooled,, ect, but American made and good for the money.
They have some plain offerings that would be great for anyone just getting into quality belts.
Hey Carl, have you ever thought about doing one on the best straight razors out there? Thought it might be just as relevant as many of the other trad things you discuss on your channel.
Obbi good label, and the black acre
Thirteen50 and StockandBarrel make nice ones too.
I have it too....Craft and lore mountain in russet. 😃
Boston Leather 1 3/4 Garrison belt!!!! Perfect workbelt, gunbelt, etc. They are often found in western pictures and are known to hold up for years! I'm disappointed you didn't mention that!! (LOL) And they're not that expensive either!! Though, not all such belts are created equal, granted. But to my knowledge, Boston, Jaypee, are a few of the BEST brands. There are other cheaper knockoffs that stretch out or just don't do the belt any justice. So beware!!
How I love leather belts
I know this is a late comment but try the Hanks belts, I’m curious about them and trust your opinion.
Definitely check out Nordic EDC. Single artisan brand from Sweden. Really nicely finished belts. The leather is absolutely gorgeous!! I love the brown leather. All leather is from the very exclusive Tärnsjö Garveri in Sweden.
For durable, work belts, I stick to Dickies & Levi's. Go for heavy stitch & riveted. Stay away from reversible versions, screws, and thin plate-oversize buckles. Excited with the tan, undyed belt that will patina.
