Size & Fit Guide
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.

Not really a dress belt, shoddy workmanship
When this belt went on sale recently, I hurried and bought one in each colour to match my AE dress shoes. The belts arrived in a big box, packed in plastic baggies, with no other protection. I bought less expensive belts elsewhere and they were tastefully packed in flannel bags and individual gift boxes... But, aside the AE's now standard cheapism, these belts were a disappointment. They were simply too thick and the buckle too big to be called a dress belt, and yet too dressy to wear with casual pants. The leather material appeared to be good quality to me, but the workmanship on some of the belts was downright shoddy. The end tip on all 5 belts was very crudely cut, and the stitching on some of them was exposed where the tip was cut too close to the stitching. Returned.

Overpriced!
The quality, which is not particularly impressive, is further diminished by having the brand name engraved on the buckle -tacky, tacky tacky!

My belt was defective - store manager refused to replace it
Short Review:
Disappointing - First because the belt didn’t even last a year and (more importantly) the store manager’s response that this was “normal wear and tear”.
Details:
The leather began to crease within a few months. I initially held off on a return, hoping it would smooth into a nice patina but instead the leather started cracking.
When I showed the store manager the poor quality of the belt she said that too much time had passed for a return or exchange. I’m well aware that 6 months+ is too far out from purchase for a normal return but expect that any reasonable brand would stand by their product. It’s unfortunate that the manager didn’t feel empowered to do so.
I have two pairs of Park Avenues which have held up like new for 5 years so I was surprised. After doing a bit of research I realized the company outsources some of their non-staple items and I believe this is one of them which could explain the quality difference.

Pictures of the belt in oxblood & coffee colors do not show the AE branding. The others do. Which is correct? I assume this does not vary by color.
Our newly manufactured belts no longer have the Allen Edmonds brand on the buckle.

Can you use Saphir polish to hydrate and polish the leather belt
We recommend Allen Edmonds Leather Lotion for our belts to moisturize the leather and keep it from drying. Our care products are specifically formulated and tested for our products. We are unable to recommend other brands as we are not aware of the ingredients they use.
Thank you for contacting us!

If I’m a 33 pant what size belt do I buy
I'm no expert, but the "rule of thumb" has always been to round up..So if you are a 33" waist, you probably wear a 34" pant and therefore I'd choose a 36" belt.

Why is this belt called "Wide"? It looks pretty basic.
Hi Linda - As a customer and owner of this belt I"m not certain why it was noted as "wide" although the buckle is a bit on the large side, not thin or delicate. It's a nice belt. Brad

Are your belts recraftable?
I have lost some weight and well my belts are now to big. I was wondering if the buckle end can be unsown and made to a shorter length and be resown together again.
Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, our belts are not recraftable. You may want to contact a local cobbler to see if they are able to shorten your belt.
