Work Belt

"Love this belt for work. I am using it as part of a tool belt system I put together. This belt, Jessup suspenders, Badger Trimmer toolbags (smaller/lighter bags), and a CLC padded belt underneath. This belt holds up well to the weight in the tool bags. The stretch is just right for bending, crouching, and general working movements. The Jessup suspenders kick in to help carry the load if I start to load up. Love the belt for this purpose!! Has served me very well so far. I got the extra long one to go around the padded belt and give me plenty of adjustment."

"It keep my pants up the whole time, when moving and bending that helps a lot. One thing dislike is when you have to adjust the belt then putting in the belt loop, can be annoying but i can managed."

I was looking for a

"I was looking for a slim with the metallic buckle in brown, softer fabric. The one I received was stiff fabric and goldish in color. I have a black slim softer fabric, one would think a brown would be the next natural choice😳😡"

Thought it'd be the one.

"Bought it because I have an allergy to metal, but I also bought it to be my primary belt for when I have my IWB on. Unfortunately, the belt is so elastic that it doesn't provide enough tension to keep it secure. I'll use it elsewhere in my 'drobe, but this is a let down."

I have been wearing this

"I have been wearing this belt for a little over a week. Made to a very high quality which I’m impressed with. Don’t believe wear it says sizing runs small so order next size up… I did this and now have way more belt than I need."

Hands down, best belts I've

"Hands down, best belts I've ever owned. Have like 8 or so belts. Favorites include the Hardware line and, ofcourse the Grateful Dead logos. Also enjoy the mountain scapes. Very comfortable, easy to use, and gets through the airport security easy (and who doesn't need that nowadays?!). I forgot to mention, I'm blind---so the ease of fastening the belt with the clasp--huge difference maker for me!"

I have a bit of

"I have a bit of a belly, and these belts can be adjusted to have enough stretch to keep from sliding down without discomfort. I purchased this model to accommodate my fishing pliers but haven't tried that yet."

Jack G. (5/5)

Fabric is way too thick

"Fabric is way too thick and hard, much more so than the otherwise similar Arcade I got at REI. I was looking for colors different than black of the REI belt."

Q&A

Are there aby cleaning instructions for this velt
Hey Ian, Of course, please see the below blog post for cleaning instructions for all of our belts! https://arcadebelts.com/blogs/blog-of-stretch-belts/belt-care-guide
What belts come in slim 1 1:4 and long.
Hey Robert, Any belt in our Slim Collection, which you can browse here! https://arcadebelts.com/collections/slim-width-stretch-belts
Will you make the Hardware belt in a thinner version (1.25”)?
Hey Tony! It is a suggestion that we're aware of and working on! However, in the meantime the Hardware Alu will be your best bet. Since it doesn't have a male end for the buckle clasp like the rest of our belts, it should fit through virtually any sized belt loops! https://arcadebelts.com/collections/utility-work-belt/products/hardware-alu-work-belt
Would this belt be good for concealed carry or is it too flimsy?
Great question thanks for reaching out! Our Utility Collection (Hardware and Hardware Alu) were not designed for concealed carry but are designed to carry weight comfortably in tough and demanding environments and applications. Thankfully we offer a free 30 day return policy for US customers, so if this collection doesn't suit your needs, no worries!
Will you ever consider bringing back your older style of buckle that wasn't clip style? They tend to be more difficult to clip in one handed.
Hi, thanks for the feedback! I’ll get this request and feedback to our product team who are always looking for feedback from customers and real life use.
