I was skeptical about elastic belts thinking they would not hold up to the challenge. Nevertheless, I wanted something durable which looked nice but more importantly it needed to be COMFORTABLE. My old belt was not adjustable, it had pre-set holes which made it either too tight or too lose for me. Additionally, being a heavy-set guy and a trucker (sitting the whole day) made my old belt dig into my stomach causing pain even after I’d remove the belt. I spent quite some time looking for a replacement and stumbled onto elastic belts. At first I dismissed the idea thinking they simply wouldn’t work. I kept looking around as my pain lingered on for days. Finally, I decided to take a look at elastic belts, but which one would work for me? I saw inexpensive options but after reading reviews I saw the reason for the low price. Next, I found a couple of options but they had metal buckles and while durable I felt that would not solve my original problem with the digging into my stomach. Finally, after a few weeks of searching I saw a photo advertising ARCADE belts and how their buckles were airport travel friendly. While this didn’t apply to me it caught my attention. A plastic buckle might work, I thought to myself. Still skeptical about the durability of the buckle I read reviews and looked around some more but decided that ARCADE belts had the best looking options. I went ahead and placed my order. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with my purchase. The belt is soooo comfortable, it does not lose it’s shape and does a great job holding up my pants all while looking great. The pain I was having from wearing my old belt is now gone. I am glad I chose ARCADE belts because of the quality of their products. I will be purchasing a second belt from ARCADE because I would like to try the “thin” version as most of my pants can barely fit my current belt (midnighter long) through the belt loops. Hopefully my experience will help you decide when looking for a quality belt replacement.
Makes every pair of pants so comfortable. I wish I knew about these belts sooner. I can’t use any other belt now. I also second other comments wishing there were more patterns/colors for the long belts!
