ColumbiaUnisex-Adult Military Web Belt-Adjustable One Size Cotton Strap and Metal Plaque Buckle

5-8-17I've been looking for a replacement military style belt for a while now, however, I only searched brick & mortar stores. For some reason it never occurred to me to search Amazon and I shop here all the time. My father and I both wear Dickie work pants majority of the time and we both prefer the military style belts to use with them. The last 3 brands for belts I used were Dickies (lasted years), Wrangler (lasted years) & Faded Glory (only lasted months before the belt portion started fraying). This time around I couldn't find either of the former 2.My reason for purchasing Columbia belts (I bought 2; 1 Navy for myself, 1 Black for my father) was to try this brand out too. I have not used them before for belts and their price was quite fair compared to the higher end belts I've purchased before. The Columbia belts seem wider, but that's not an issue for me as long as they fit through the pant loops, which they do. I had to test them on my pants, since female clothes tend to be made smaller in every aspect. The cloth for the belts seem comparable to the higher end material too. Only time will tell how they old up. I do plan to do an update as I do on every review. The photos only reflect the Navy belt due to the fact I gave my father the Black one already.I bought this from the seller "Amazon.com LLC", which I feel is important to list this info. I've come across sellers with variances in their items, including knockoffs, even if listed as same brand.***UPDATE***12-25-17I've ordered 3 more belts last week, for myself and my father again. 1 Navy, 1 Black, & 1 Beige... not because our belts are worn, but to match with different gear. Once again I'm posting images of the Navy belt. This time around I have a side by side comparison from the one I purchased on April 21st, with the one ordered last week. There is only slight wear that is noticeable on the old belt, which can only be seen if the belt is off the pants. This is where the rear center pant loop is, so the loops has trained the belt to be slightly skewed there, not an issue. The only other difference is a slight fade in color, which in my field, is to be expected (see photos). My belt is exposed to both equipment and automotive greases, as well as construction or landscaping dirt, dust, and mud.I do wash my belt from time to time. I remove the buckle so that there's no banging while laundering. Funnily enough, I just noticed the cleaning tag on the belt which states to "spot clean only". Oh well, no problems laundering in the washing machine so far, which has been done at least 5 or 6 times since purchase.After I size my belt, I use a waterproof adhesive on the end I cut, then let it cure. This keeps the end from fraying and makes it easier to reinstall on the buckle. I'm thrilled with these belts. Everything about them screams "quality and heavy duty". I expect these to last many years.***UPDATE***6-19-19It's now been just over 2 years since original purchase. The belt itself has held up quite well, and I wear it almost daily... at least 5 out of 7 days a week, if not more. Finally, the bar broke last night :( The bar in the buckle which is what holds the belt taught. I'm disappointed as the rest of the belt is holding up quite well!! Yes, the color has faded a bit, but I'm not concerned since the belt is for my work pants. Now I've joined the club with many reviewers, who've encountered this same misfortune.I would truly like this defect corrected in the future, easily remedied by using a quality metal, but for now I won't purchase a replacement Columbia brand. Price has increased by a couple dollars since original purchase as well, furthur contributing to my decision. I'll look for a replacement buckle, but I tend to keep my older functional ones anyway. I've NEVER had this issue in any other brand, it's usually a lack of quality in the material of the belt and the premature wear or fraying, which causes me to replace them. Now if I could only find a company that can provide both quality material belt & buckles!!I've included my own updated photos as well.

A wonderful belt that can carry even the heaviest of tools. Hammers, flashlights, and more. You could probably carry a boulder.

Nice

Can you help me to write a review on itAbsolutely! Here’s a draft for your review of the Columbia Unisex-Adult Military Web Belt:I recently purchased the Columbia Unisex-Adult Military Web Belt, and it has quickly become my go-to accessory for both casual and outdoor wear. Here are my thoughts:VersatilityThis belt is incredibly versatile. Whether I'm pairing it with jeans for a casual day out or using it on a hike, it fits right in. The simple, classic design goes well with a variety of outfits, making it a great addition to any wardrobe.ComfortComfort is a big deal for me, and this belt does not disappoint. The cotton strap feels soft and comfortable against my waist, even during long days of wear. It's also lightweight, which is a plus when you're on the move.AdjustabilityThe adjustable size is a standout feature. The strap can be easily adjusted to fit perfectly, no matter your waist size. This makes it incredibly convenient and ensures a snug, secure fit.DurabilityThe metal plaque buckle is sturdy and well-made, giving the belt a durable feel. The strap itself seems to be of high quality, showing no signs of wear and tear even after regular use.OverallI highly recommend the Columbia Unisex-Adult Military Web Belt to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and versatile belt. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of both functionality and style.

I bought one of these belts in the 00s and I still wear it all the time. They wear like iron. Happy to report that the new one is almost identical (except the color because accessorizing, right?). The stainless steel buckle is tough as nails, the cotton webbing isn't pretty but its super durable, comfy and easy to wash. Sizing is no problem so long as the overall length will fit. You can adjust to a fraction of an inch if needed. The colors are a bit muted, not a lot of chroma, but I mostly wear neutrals anyway, so its great for wearing with jeans and a flannel for instance. And yes, I am a chick and I still love these belts. If you have an active lifestyle and aren't overly worried about fashion, but function, then these belts are for you.

Bought this belt in Feb.'22, love the functionality, look, & feel... then, in Feb. '25, the metal ribbed bar running across the internal housing broke, making the belt buckle useless. I guess 5 years of wear isn't bad--but I was surprised when the metal rod just snapped in half.

Had one of these for nearly a decade before the canvas belt started fraying. Put the old buckle on a new belt (blue) and bought this to replace it. Design and quality seems exactly the same as my old one. The metal hardware on the "black" option seems more like a gunsmoke finish where the "charcoal" looks like plain stainless steel. Love these for everyday wear.

It's been about a year and a half of wearing it daily,not during work conditions since I'm retired..clasp started slipping recently and never stays tight. The belt itself great quality, no fraying or tears or loose fibers.
