Arcade Belts Hardware Utility Belt

Great for jeans and heavier pants. Decent stretch. I was able to cut to a custom size with no problems. Works well and buckle seems durable.

I waited for a while and now I don't know why. I travel a lot and one thing that really slows me down is having to remove my belt when going through security at any airport. I get the need for it all especially since I work in that field, but having to take your belt off is not the most fun thing to do. I love that this belt is adjustable, light weight but also heavy duty. You can feel it in the construction. Plus when you find the right setting for yourself, the one step buckle has changed my view on the belts I use. I've actually ordered a couple more based on how my they made a difference in travel. Not having any metal at all allows for you to keep it on through security without worrying about having to put it all back together again on the other side. Game changer for sure.

Quality is great. The band is just a little too wide which makes it difficult to get through my pant loops. Also, if your belly hangs out over the buckle, it will probably bother you-the buckle has ridges on the clasp that might hurt a bit.

Easy to used, no metal, comfortable, good build quality.

I had ordered the smaller size by accident so I returned it and ordered the next size up. However, the buckle is too wide to get through the belt loops where it was fine with the previous belt. I'll just have to use it with other jeans. Otherwise, the quality of the belt is really nice and I do actually like the buckle. The stretch of the belt material is consistent and comfortable unlike other stretch belts I have tried.

Finally found a belt that meets my standards for fit, flexibility, durability, and style. I’m enjoying it and it’s my wear all the time belt. Thanks

Reviewing on the 3rd day: The Utility Hardware Belt is very well made. All appears as described - except possibly the length. I wear size 40 pants in any style / any manufacturer. The sizing selector says up to 40” for the Regular | M/L size. When I fully extend the belt to the maximum possible length - all the way to the hard stop - in order to buckle it, I have to pull against the elastic and make up a 4 inch gap. The elastic is fairly strong and that does feel pretty snug when you first click the buckle. But I find within a few minutes I don’t notice anymore. (AND, my pants and shirt tail are NOT going anywhere.). If you wear size 40, and are not on a weight loss program, you may want to go with the Long | L/XL size to provide room for adjusting the tension. Also, I use a belt pouch for my phone - one with belt loops and a clip. I prefer to engage both loops and clip on the belt. The Utility Hardware Belt’s “male” buckle part just barely passes under the pouch’s belt clip - I feel like I’m springing the clip to the point of almost breaking it. Take care that your belt loops and accessory loops are large enough to pass the buckle. The belt material appears VERY durable and strong. I have no doubt it’d hold up to regular clipping / unclipping of tools and accessories. Other than possibly choosing the longer length, I’d highly recommend this belt.

So this is my third Arcade belt of this size and the first with the new buckle. I’ll start by saying I really like the new buckle and the stiffer material this belt is made from. The stiffer material is just better for my uses and the new buckle is easier to use and looks better. The first two belts I bought, the adjustable end tucked under the belt where it couldn’t be seen. It was also way shorter. The end of the new belt is so long it literally wraps around halfway around my back and since the end is on top it can’t be hidden like you could on the original belt. If you wore the L/XL belt on previous versions, you most likely need the smaller size now.
