Wide Basic Dress - Men's Premium Leather Dress Belts by Allen Edmonds

Just as you have to get the fundamentals right to succeed in sports, in your wardrobe you have to master the basics so that you can look your best. And when it comes to belts this is a staple that every man should have hanging in his closet. Available in seven colors, this design's flexibility is such that it can work with just about any of our shoes. Outfitted with an unadorned rectangular buckle and two carefully placed loops, the classic appearance of the Wide Basic emphasizes the quality of your suit and shoes, making it the easy choice for when you want to be seen at your most professional. So remember, success is about the little things: work hard, play to win and wear a Wide Basic belt.
  • Premium leather men's dress belts
  • Calfskin and Burnished Calfskin leather
  • Silver-tone buckle
  • Made in the USA

Size & Fit Guide

Keep in mind, our belts are measured from the inside edge of the buckle to the center hole. Because of this, we recommend selecting a belt one full size larger than your waist size. For example, if the waist size on your slacks or pant size is a 36" we recommend ordering a 38" belt.

  • Manufactured with five distinct belt holes, placed 1 inch apart from one another
  • 35mm wide

Wide Basic Dress Belt 3.5 5 46 46
Looks and fits great, but wears out quickly The belt looks and fits great and matches my Strand shoes perfectly. However, the quality of the belt is subpar from what I expect in AE. The belt started cracking after fairly minimal use at the point where it was fading, especially near the buckle area. May 13, 2013
Not worth the price I received a brand new walnut colored belt from my local AE store and although the tags were still on it, the leather appeared to be already worn. it had stretch marks similar to those photos others have posted, as if the leather was rolled beyond it's ability to return to its original state. The color is pretty dark and does not really match my walnut shoes, but is close enough to be serviceable. Another point worth noting is the double keeper. I wish this was available in a single keeper, as the second pushes up against some of my pants' belt loops. this keeps the belt buckle off center; a detail not completely trivial when wearing a nice outfit. May 1, 2013
Best Belt I Have Owned, and a Necessity Mid-priced leather accessories of this quality seem to have vanished from the Earth -- even Brooks Brothers does not reliably carry a decent plain tan dress belt anymore. Belts in this tier are usually either badly finished, studded by ghastly logo bling, festooned with a thought-provoking buckle, or some awful combination thereof. AE has it perfectly right. However, since you can see that the styling is classic, the quality of the craftsmanship is what I'd like to convey. It's hard to describe the feeling of a really well-made belt like this, except that it makes belts you thought were just fine feel like a rope tied around your waist. There are plenty of belts out there that are as good as this, if you know where to look. But now that you're here, you might as well buy this one, as the others are likely to be vastly more expensive, and this is just about as good as it gets. April 30, 2013
Follow up to post of 03-13-13 Allen Edmonds customer service rep contacted me, discussed the product and replaced at no cost to me. Customer service is excellent. April 29, 2013

Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

For the Bradley in our Chili Grain Calf, we recommend our Wide Basic Dress Belt in Chili Burnished Calf. Though the Chili colorations may not be an exact match to your grain leather, the burnishing of the leathers were designed to coordinate and will complement each other nicely.

There is an obvious quality issue with the AE Wide Basic Dress Belt.

Has this been resolved with the belts currently being sold?

Earlier answers to similar questions posted on this site are not satisfactory.

I would like to know if the quality issue has been resolved, not that I can return the belt if I am unhappy.

Thanks.

Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

At this time, there are no known quality issues with our Wide Basic Dress Belt; this belt continues to be our bestselling style, followed by the Manistee. However, we have acknowledged the poor customer reviews online and have our product development team looking into the continued quality of this product.

We appreciate and take it into consideration all feedback for our continued and future product development and offering.

Quality issues?

Based on the reviews on this site, there seems to be a quality issue with some of the belts, including the wide basic dress belt. Is anything being done to address these issues? I would prefer to purchase belts that co-ordinate with my AE shoes, but I am hesitant to purchase any AE belts until these issues have been addressed.

We use brown glove leather instead of our premium calfskin leather to line the vast majority of our shoes and belts because it is smooth and pliable, providing a more comfortable surface to wear against the body.

The belt that coordinates with the Prestons is the basic dress per the Allen Edmonds article that celebrates the 90th anneversiry. However, I cannot find that belt.

We no longer offer our Basic Dress belt. If you are looking for a dress belt that is not wide, we recommend our Dress Bridle or Belt Creek styles, which are very similar to our old Basic Dress Belt. We also recommend the Yukon and Madison belt styles to correspond with your Prestons.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.
