Dickies Men's Leather Double Prong Belt Belt

Good standard leather. Lasting me ages

good quality.

If the Leather is soft it will be even better.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... Probably going to get sued over that. But it does fit the narrative here. About 30 years ago I found myself in need of a belt and wound up purchasing this EXACT belt. A belt that I used just about every single day for decades. It held up incredibly and still looks nearly as good as the brand new one when viewed side by side. But, sadly, one of the thin strips of leather that holds the prongs in place finally gave way on the old belt a few months back and I began my search for a replacement. Given that decades had passed and any and all markings on the belt had long worn off, I honestly had no clue what brand the belt was, if there was even a remote chance that they still produced the product after so long or if the dual tong style was even something I would be able to find at all. Immediately I loaded Amazon and began searching. Ultimately I wound up ordering two different belts, this one and one that was much, much less expensive - just a few dollars in price. I did so because they both looked relatively good and I was not sure how well either would hold up. It turns out that the more inexpensive belt was sized totally wrong and was way, way too small. Rather than messing with returning a cheap item, I just gave it to a female friend who it does fit. Then this belt arrived and to my absolute joy - it is exactly the same belt I had purchased so many years ago. Every stitch and detail exactly the same. Having spent my entire adult life with ONE belt - you cannot imagine the exuberance I felt over having found an identical replacement. As far as a review goes? Although this one is formatted as a story rather than a review the relevant fact is stated very clearly. I am replacing this belt after three decades of daily use and zero upkeep. Other than wiping it clean every so often, I never treated it with leather lotion nor any other product to help elongate the life of the leather. What higher praise, in this day and age, could one offer a product? Durable, attractive, comfortable, reliable and lasts for decades! With any luck I will live long enough to need one more Dickies 35mm Genuine Leather belt. But at 48 the odds are on the belt outlasting me!

Nice belt, good buckle

Will update once I've had a chance to wear it some
