Question 1

A reviewer said that this is bonded leather; is that correct?

Accepted Answer

I am certainly not sure what the previous person got for a belt, but it was definitely not this Carhartt belt.  We received this belt and it is a single piece of cowhide leather.  The outside of the belt has been smoothed, stained and finished very nicely. It is not a leather veneer bonded or stitched to some kind of mystery man made underlayment.  My husband is hard on belts and this is one of the few, including the black Carhartt belt and the Duluth Trading belts I bought him, that stand up to hard use and wear and tear.  Yes, the buckle, which is substantial, does scratch the leather, but the belts are very durable.  For instance before we found the Carhartt belts, I purchased a Dickies brand belt for him to try.  That belt is a piece of leather veneer bonded to other layers of indeterminate material and stitched around the belt periphery.  It looked substantial but that belt did not make it for 3 months before it separated and delaminated.  I use the women's Carhartt  belts and like them because they withstand a lot of wear and tear with my jeans when I work.  I have had several which I rotate when I wear, and they are worn but otherwise in attractive condition after well over a year of use.  I would recommend this line of belts unconditionally.

Question 2

what is the width and thickness of the belt?

Accepted Answer

1 3/8" or 35mm wide
Only 3-4mm thick

Question 3

Can you change the buckle?

Accepted Answer

No you can't change it, but it's a nice buckle and should not need changing.

Question 4

One more question...My husband's waist size is 33. Being that it states to order one size up, should I order a 36? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Believe it or not, you may even want a 38".  I'm a 32"-34" waist (depending on the season) and have always ordered a 36" belt, sometimes even needing to punch an extra hole for my 32" months.  But this belt runs 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" shorter than all my other belts.  I'm in the middle hole in the 36, which doesn't always reach the next belt loop to keep the end from "flopping".  The 38" fit me more like most of my 36 inchers.
