Great product and craftsmanship. I’m happy to shop with local folks.
I have owned the belt for less than month, but have work it every day. The belt is very sturdy. It does a great job of holding my pants up due to the more precise adjustment holes. The belt is also comfortable and doesn't dig into my skin when I tighten it.
Amazing balance of traits. I hope it lasts as long (30 years) as the belt it is replacing, which I snagged from my dad in the 90's.
So far so good! 1.5” width is perfect. Leather is nice and sturdy but not uncomfortable. Of course the 1/2” hole spacing is great. Depending on if I’m wearing work pants vs jeans vs dress pants, my “belt size” can differ. Loving it so far. The crazy horse leather looks awesome too.
So I just received my custom belt today, and I wanted to share how it looks just in case someone is contemplating a similar setup.
In the photos below, you can see my belt with the following configuration:
• width - 1.25
• color - Antique Brown Water Buffalo
• stitch color - Light Brown
• buckle finish: Silver
It is shiny and not very dark overall. If you want a really dark color, then Antique Brown Water Buffalo is not a good choice.
Fits to size well, and the Pioneer Cut is awesome. I do not have any doubts about the quality (it is not my first Pioneer belt).
This is my second work/dress belt. I've had my first one for over 4 years and it has help up wonderfully. I wanted to get a second black belt and after looking at the stores around where I live, I figured why pay $40 for some cheap POS when I can spend a little extra, support a company I believe in, and enjoy a belt from them for years to come.
I purchased over their July 4th holiday sale. I received consistent updates when my belt was starting production, when it was finishing, and then when it was shipping out. It arrived within two-ish weeks (I think, don't quote me on it) after the holiday weekend. The end product was exactly what I wanted. The pioneer cut (the hole placement) helps me get the belt exactly where it is comfortable for me depending on the pants or shorts I'm wearing. Hands down, one of the best belts I have ever owned. I will definitely be ordering again when I need more.
Side Note: I stated I wouldn't be upset if they drew a phoenix rising out of the ashes, and they did not disappoint.
